But the small packable drone only has a 10 km radius and ten minutes of flight endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps wants its system to push nearly 60 kilometers with one to two hours of flight endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, AeroVironment recently conducted a successful test of a hybrid system onboard a U.S. Navy coastal riverine craft that uses a larger RQ-20 Puma surveillance drone in conjunction with the Switchblade, according to an April press release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The RQ-20 packs a 15-kilometer range and nearly three hours of flight endurance, and conducts surveillance of suspected hostile targets. The Puma can pass on coordinates to smaller Switchblade drones that engage and destroy enemy targets, according to the company\u2019s press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis new combination of our Puma unmanned aircraft system with our Switchblade loitering missile system gives commanders unprecedented ability to identify threats at long ranges, limit collateral damage and wave off targets subsequently deemed neutral or friendly,\u201d Rick Pedigo, vice president of AeroVironment\u2019s Tactical Missile Systems business, said in the press release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Mistral\u2019s Uvision drones may come closer to what the Corps is looking for. Mistral makes two pneumatic launched tactical missile drones called Hero 30 and the larger Hero 120. The drones have a 30 minute and one hour loiter time respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mistral.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mistral.jpg.jpg 640w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Mistral.jpg.jpg?resize=300,225 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mistral&#8217;s Hero 30 drone carries an anti-personnel warhead and weighs less than 20 lbs.

(Shawn Snow\/Staff)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are both relatively small, weighing less than an FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marines have been experimenting with various systems for dual use purposes like the firing of a HIMARS artillery rocket systems from the deck of a Navy ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development also comes as the Corps is issuing small quadcopter drones to every rifle squad, a program routinely called \u201cquads for squads\u201d by Corps officials. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Corps wants a long-range suicide drone that can loiter over suspected targets at sea or
