The company classifies the CIDA Weapon System as a cost-effective, low-collateral effects 'enhanced smart rocket' capability that "stands between an advanced guided missile and an unguided rocket". Designed to address the challenges of "topographic uncertainties of the combat area, and the rapid movement of threats during urban operations", CIDA is a 90 mm very short-range command to line-of-sight support weapon optimised for the dismounted infantry role.
Weighing 7.5 kg, 100 cm in length, and with a stated range of 50 m-750 m, the CIDA munition is equipped with a mid-body, centre-axis, single folding wing assembly, and a deployable cruciform aft actuator package.
