NAL Slybird is hand launched and has a soft landing recovery capability. It has an endurance of one hour with a range of 10 km. Its operational altitude is 300 meters and a service ceiling altitude of 15000 feet. The craft is fitted with a forward looking pan-tilt day/[[Infrared camera]].

There are two versions of the NAL Slybird to fit military and police roles. The smaller version is focused more towards the military by keeping the load of soldier down; it is designated A (military version). The larger version of the NAL Slybird is designated B (police version).

As of March 2013 the NAL Slybird prototypes were under user trials. The estimated cost for three aircraft and one ground station was to be $350,000.
