The ARAD operating system uses a short-stroke gas piston with a two-position adjustable regulator for suppressed and unsuppressed use. This setup keeps the action clean and allows quick tuning with standard 5.56 NATO loads.
The semi-monolithic ARAD upper employs IWI’s CamLok barrel lock-up and a free-float aluminum M-LOK handguard. A continuous, T-marked Picatinny top rail runs the full length for alignment of sights and accessories.
The 16-inch barrel is marked IWI 5.56 NATO 1:8 and features a threaded muzzle with a multi-port muzzle device. The rifle accepts STANAG/AR-pattern magazines, and six 30-round metal magazines are included.
