    It’s not a MANPAD really.

    The sensor package has no IR sensor (or radar unit) and no way to proximity fuse.

    It has GPS, accelerometer and barometric pressure. It’s more like a rocket powered artillery shell than an anti-air weapon.

    Or, given the lack of payload, it’s more like a high speed burrito delivery device.
