The system is used to destroy light armored vehicles, manpower, and damage enemy fortifications and fires unguided 220 mm rockets weighing up to 200 kg.

The SOF operators identified the coordinates of the weapon and directed precision fire from a HIMARS missile and artillery unit of the Armed Forces, successfully engaging the target.
