The T400 has been demonstrated for casevac
The T650 has been demonstrated launching a Stingray lightweight torpedo or carrying 3 Brimstone autonomous missiles.
The Brimstone 2, when launched from a rotorcraft can be fired in a fire and forget salvo to a range of up to 40 km depending on speed and altitude of the launch platform. When the launch plaform is stationary on the ground the range is the 10 to 12 km band.
