There are two variants of the Switchblade drone (also known as a kamikaze or suicide drone) – Switchblade 300 and Switchblade 600 – produced by AeroVironment, an American defense contractor headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.

The Switchblade loitering munition system enables its operator to engage beyond-line-of-sight targets across land, maritime and air-launched scenarios.

The Switchblade 300 weighs 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg), including the warhead; has a range of 10 km and an endurance of 15 minutes. The company says that the entire system can be set up in less than two minutes.
