AeroVironment will deliver the Switchblade 300 tactical missile systems to the U.S. Army’s Tactical Aviation and Ground Munition division under a $20.6 million contract. 

The Army Contracting Command, Redstone Arsenal, will be managing the contract, with the tactical missile system set for delivery by July 2023, the Arlington, Virginia-headquartered company said Thursday. 

AeroVironment’s Switchblade 300 is a loitering missile that can be deployed from air, sea or ground platforms. The weapon can also be fired up to six miles from its launch location and is equipped with a sensor-to-shooter technology to help warfighters’ rapid-response force protection. 

“Deployed by the U.S. Army for more than a decade, Switchblade 300 remains a critical force protection and soldier lethality solution for our customers, including Ukraine,” said Brett Hush, vice president and product line general manager for tactical missile systems at AeroVironment.
