Source measurement	The Phoenix Ghost's primary purpose is to deliver an explosive munition to a human-selected target. The drone can loiter over an area for up to six hours, and can conduct surveillance. It is effective against medium-armored ground targets. It has infrared sensors for night operations .^[source]Aevex Phoenix Ghost · Capabilities; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Atlas, a Group 2 drone weighing 20.9 lb (9.5 kg) including an 8.1 lb (3.7 kg) payload with endurance of 1-2 hours and range of 74 mi (120 km).^[source]Aevex Phoenix Ghost · Capabilities; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Disruptor, a Group 3 drone with a v-tail 10.1 ft (3.1 m) in length weighing 185 lb (84 kg) or more with a 50 lb (23 kg) payload, endurance of 4.5 hours and range of 372 mi (598 km), launched pneumatically or through RATO .

It carries a modular warhead weighing between 60 kg and 120 kg, selectable for fragmentation or shaped-charge effects. The airframe employs radar-absorbent materials to reduce detectability.
