U.S. Army picks AV's Switchblade 400 for new strike drone program

AeroVironment's Switchblade 400 has been selected by the U.S. Army for its LASSO loitering munition program, targeting anti-armor strike capability. The selection marks a key milestone in the Army's push to field autonomous precision strike systems at the unit level. The Switchblade 400 offers man-portable anti-armor lethality with a lock-after-launch guidance mode. This contract award positions AV as a primary supplier for a potentially large-scale Army loitering munition inventory.
