Maintain direct oversight and situational awareness across complex battlespace without external ISR or fire assets support. Precision Strike FCU with target lock - on capability ensures precision strike. Missile tracks changes in angle, range, and sudden movement of designated target with no further operator input. Optimized EO/IR camera with processing and image stabilization automatically tracks and continually adjusts. Operator - in - the - loop Wave - off/Recommit – operator is capable of aborting up to four seconds before impact. Operator may re - engage same or new targets multiple times. Intuitive tablet FCU offers manual or automated flight control for accuracy of mission execution. Low Collateral Damage Wave - off capability enables operator to cancel an engagement mid - flight, reducing non - combatant or collateral damage effects. Ability to loiter before striking, allowing operators to more precisely detect, track and engage appropriate targets. Switchblade ® Loitering Missiles
