AeroVironment and General Dynamics Land Systems demonstrate PERCH loitering munitions launcher at U.S. Army event

AeroVironment and General Dynamics Land Systems demonstrate PERCH loitering munitions launcher at U.S. Army event

General Dynamics Land Systems announced in December 2025 the successful demonstration of the Precision Effects & Reconnaissance, Canister-Housed (PERCH) system, developed in partnership with AeroVironment (AV), during the U.S. Army’s Machine Assisted Rugged Sapper (MARS) event at Fort Hood, Texas.

The PERCH modular kit integrates AeroVironment’s Switchblade 300 and Switchblade 600 loitering munitions into M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 main battle tanks and Stryker infantry carrier vehicles, enabling beyond-line-of-sight surveillance and precision strike capabilities.
