1Pages

AeroVironment's combat proven Switchblade continues to provide conventional and special operations forces with a back-packable, rapidly deployable, loitering precision strike munition for use against beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) targets. This miniature flying lethal missile can be operated manually or autonomously. Switchblade provides the operator with real-time video and Cursor-on-Target GPS coordinates for information gathering, targeting, or feature/object recognition. The vehicle's small size and quiet motor make it difficult to detect, recognize and track even at very close range. The Switchblade is fully scalable and can be launched from a variety of air, sea, and ground platforms.
