[citation needed] The Skylark is in operation with the armed forces of Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Israel, Macedonia, Myanmar,[1][2][3] Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, and Sweden.

[4] The Skylark I has also been selected by France's special forces (Commando Parachutiste de l'Air n° 10) in March 2008.

It has a range of 60 km and is designed to be operated by a two-person crew and to be deployed using HMMWV-class field vehicles.

It is deployed from a pneumatic launcher on the ground or mounted on a vehicle, with an operating range of more than 54 nmi (62 mi; 100 km), a service ceiling of 15,000 ft (4,600 m), and flight endurance of up to 6 hours.

By August 12, some 18 systems had flown several hundred hours, generating intelligence and streaming target-acquisition data to soldiers on the ground.

On 20 March 2017, the Syrian Defense Ministry claimed a Skylark had been shot down and captured on the outskirts of Quneitra.

[25] Skylark C is a shipborne mini UAS designed for patrol boats and small vessel operations.
