AV Launches New Switchblade for LASSO at AUSA 2025
AV, a company formed by the merger of AeroVironment and BlueHalo, debuted a new loitering munition, Switchblade 400, for the US Army's Low Altitude Stalking and Strike Ordnance (LASSO).
The Switchblade 400 is a smaller package than the original Switchblade 600 and larger than the Switchblade 300 variants, designed to meet LASSO's requirement for a munition with a 40 km range that weighs under 40 lb.
Brian Young, vice-president of loitering munitions systems, stated that AV submitted its new munition in response to the army's request for proposal (RFP) for an unmanned anti-tank weapon for LASSO.
