AeroVironment’s Switchblade® tactical missile systems (TMS) close the gap between
observation and action, giving troops the ability to identify threats and deliver a lethal
payload precisely with minimal collateral damage. Their small size and low acoustic, visual
and thermal signature make them difficult to detect or track, even at close range.

Rapidly deployable and highly maneuverable with high-performance optics and scalable
munition payloads, our loitering missile systems enable warfighters to easily launch, track
and engage beyond line-of-sight targets including light armored vehicles across domains.
These qualities made the Switchblade 600 the “kamikaze drone” of choice in Ukraine.

Switchblade® Sensor to Shooter (S2S) combines the superior ISR capabilities of Puma™, Raven® and Wasp® with the precision
strike capabilities of the Switchblade loitering missile system. Through S2S software, target coordinates are instantly transferred
from the small UAS to Switchblade, reducing engagement timelines and cognitive load on the operators. S2S provides Switchblade
operators with real-time video downlinks for a clearer view of the area of operation and the ability to scene-match small UAS ISR
and Switchblade 300 camera feeds on one screen.
The Switchblade 300 Sensor to Shooter Kit allows operators to quickly update FalconView® with the S2S software on a ruggedized
laptop, such as a Toughbook CF-33, and connect to the included pDDL™. The Switchblade 300 operator simply taps the screen to
initiate machine-to-machine target coordinate transfer, creating an automated mission plan and confirming launch sequence.

 MUAS
With their 185-mile range, AeroVironment’s fixed-wing medium unmanned aircraft
systems (MUAS)—JUMP® 20 and T-20™ —are excellent choices for exacting reconnaissance,
surveillance and target acquisition applications, thanks to their ability to carry some of the
most powerful and versatile imaging sensors available.

The JUMP® 20 is the first fixed-wing UAS extensively employed by U.S. forces capable of
vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL). It features a 30-pound payload capacity and more than
14 hours of uninterrupted flight.

 SUAS
Over the last decade, members of AeroVironment’s growing family of small unmanned
aircraft systems (SUAS) — Puma™ LE, Puma™ 3 AE, Raven®, Wasp® AE, Quantix™ Recon
and VAPOR® Helicopter UAS — have been adopted by more than 50 allied nations.

The reason for their appeal is straightforward. Under battlefield conditions, they
have proven themselves ideal for low-altitude intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance missions. Lightweight, rugged and easy-to-operate, they deliver real-
time color and/or infrared imagery to ground control and remote viewing stations.
With their enhanced communications and interoperability, they are a critical building
block for multi-domain operations.

 NETWORK CONNECTIVITY
Reliable, real-time, secure communications are fundamental for accurate situational awareness
and rapid response. Accordingly, we developed Crysalis™, our next-generation ground control
solution, in conjunction with our broadband digital network module, Digital Data Link™, for
enhanced command and control in a network-centric battlefield.

Featuring robust data encryption across multiple frequency bands, this IP-based module is
designed for maximum flexibility and interoperability between small airborne systems and
