According to the US Department of Defense, there is already a prototype, which consists of a launcher, a drone and a fire control station. The drone himself received an electrical optical/infrared sensor, a high -precision flight control system and the ability to track and strike armored vehicles outside the direct visibility, including tanks.
The military department notes that by 2030, each unit of the US Army infantry should be equipped with similar compact Kamikadze drones similar to Switchblade. The Pentagon has positively appreciated their effective use of the Armed Forces against the Russian invaders. Military analysts say that fading ammunition has proven efficiency and showed excellent results. Currently, the US Army does not own such Kamikadze drone in large quantities.
Only the military special forces are equipped with this type of drone, but in the future, the Switchblade system will be in every infantry unit of the US Army, according to the Pentagon. We have already reported that the army of the Russian Federation also wants to have its analogue of compact drones-Kamikadze, and therefore work on a shock drone "Vector-120". However, it is almost an exact copy of Switchblade 300. Similarly, the popular Switchblade drone has a "underwater" counterpart.
