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

Rapidly deployable and highly maneuverable with high-performance optics

and scalable munition payloads, our LMS enable warfighters to easily launch,
track and engage beyond-line-of-sight targets, including light armored vehicles,
across domains. These qualities made Switchblade the loitering munition of
choice in Ukraine.

 SUAS
Over the last decade, members of AeroVironment’s growing family of small uncrewed
aircraft systems (SUAS) — Puma™ LE, Puma™ 3 AE, Raven® and VAPOR® Helicopter UAS
— have been adopted by more than 55 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, our SUAS 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.

 MUAS
With a 185-kilometer operating range, AeroVironment’s fixed-wing medium
uncrewed aircraft systems (MUAS)—JUMP® 20 and T-20™ —are excellent choices
for exacting reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition applications, due
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 take-off and landing (VTOL). It features a 30-pound payload
capacity and more than 14 hours of uninterrupted flight.

 UGV
Our family of uncrewed ground vehicles (UGV) share the same purpose as our uncrewed
aircraft and loitering munition systems: to keep operators out of harm’s way.

Our UGVs have proven themselves in a variety of dangerous ground applications, including
the localization and mitigation of threats due to explosive ordnance disposal (EOD),
hazardous materials handling (HAZMAT), chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear
(CBRN) threat assessments, and special weapons and tactics (SWAT) team operations.

With their advanced, specialized, precision manipulators, autonomous functionality and

intuitive operation, our rugged, all-terrain UGVs accommodate a high degree of mission
flexibility. That’s why they have been adopted in 45 countries for homeland security,
emergency response and defense purposes.
