Like its predecessor, Switchblade 300 Block 20 maintains its patented wave-off capability, enabling the operator to recommit against moving targets.<\/p>\n The Switchblade 300 Block 20 provides small expeditionary units with stand-alone precision and lethal effects with minimal collateral effects. Delivering 20-plus minutes of tactical reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition, the Switchblade 300 Block 20 provides real-time video for use against beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) targets.<\/strong><\/p>\n Cursor-on-Target GPS coordinates provide situational awareness, information collection, targeting and feature\/object recognition, that together will deliver the actionable intelligence and precision firepower needed to achieve mission success across multiple domains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
