Effortless Launch
Launching the Orca is straightforward—whether you want to deploy one unit or multiple, it can be done efficiently. For instance, a two-person team can launch a six-unit Orca salvo in under 5 minutes from the time the first box is opened until the last unit is airborne, with the first launch to the last taking less than a minute.
