X-Bow Providing Rocket Assisted Takeoff Kit For AEVEX Long-Range Loitering Munition

X-Bow Systems is supplying a rocket-assisted takeoff (RATO) kit for AEVEX Aerospace's long-range loitering munition, enabling the system to launch from austere locations without a prepared runway or catapult infrastructure. The RATO integration significantly expands the tactical flexibility of AEVEX's loitering munition for expeditionary operations. X-Bow specializes in solid rocket propulsion for small tactical systems. This partnership addresses a key operational constraint for long-range loitering munitions requiring forward deployment in contested environments.
