The Switchblade is a small, portable unmanned aerial vehicle developed by AeroVironment that can be launched from a backpack and guided to destroy targets. It has a small warhead and wings that unfold during launch, allowing it to be guided by video or GPS to its target. The Switchblade was first tested in 2010 by the US Army and has since been ordered by both the Army and Marines. It provides reconnaissance and can switch to an explosive attack mode to crash into targets.
