SWITCHBLADE DRONE

 

Description

 

A lightweight, man-portable, ‘kamikaze’ drone. The Switchblade weighs 6lbs (2.7kg) including launcher and carrying case. It has an endurance of 10 minutes and a range of 10 kilometers. Its explosive charge is comparable to a 40mm grenade and is effective against personnel and light-skinned vehicles. In limited use with the US military, the Army classifies it as a missile as it is not recoverable.

 

 

 

PRIMAL Assessment

 

For short-duration raids the Switchblade can be an effective tool for small teams with limited support. However due to the Switchblade’s short endurance and small explosive charge, where possible PRIMAL will utilize dedicated surveillance drones and fire support platforms such as the Pain Train.
