About this award
PEO Soldier awarded an Other Transaction Agreement to Aerovironment, Inc. for the Low Altitude Stalking and Strike Ordnance (LASSO) Hardware Prototype Agreement—Switchblade 400 on April 30, 2026, with a ceiling value of $34.7 million and an ultimate completion date of April 29, 2031. This OTA operates outside the FAR and is authorized under the Army's prototype development authority.
The agreement supports prototype development and evaluation of the Switchblade 400 loitering munition system. Work is performed in Simi Valley, California. Aerovironment is a manufacturer of unmanned aerial systems and loitering munition platforms; the company holds the Army PEO Soldier indefinite delivery contract (W91CRB24D0011) valued at $990 million for Low Altitude Stalking and Strike Ordnance procurement, which anchors production of Switchblade 300 and 600 systems and related fire control capabilities. This prototype OTA represents an extension of Aerovironment's existing Switchblade platform development and production relationship with PEO Soldier, positioned to mature the Switchblade 400 variant ahead of potential full production transition.
