Business Wire
AeroVironment, Inc. announced today the first successful
multi-drop, live fire GPS-guided Shryke munitions from the VAPOR®
55 MX, all-electric unmanned aircraft system in collaboration with
Corvid and L3Harris Technologies. The VAPOR 55 MX carried four
rounds simultaneously and flawlessly showcased the live fire
effects of this capability. The integration of Shryke munitions on
the VAPOR 55 MX allows for multiple targets to be designated in one
single flight. “Shryke’s size and weight make it the ideal choice
for the weaponized VAPOR 55 MX. The lethality of a 40mm anti-armor
modular warhead paired with a lightweight glider provides a highly
effective, low-collateral damage solution to the front lines,” said
Kyle Bowen, Corvid’s Shryke business development director.

Shryke, developed by Corvid Technologies and L3Harris
Technologies, is known for its versatile, multi-mission precision
strike capability, meeting the requirement to stay within 1-2
meters of the designated target. Equipped with a MIL-STD-1316
Electronic Safe and Arm Device (ESAD), L3Harris’ integrator
guarantees safety-critical initiation-on-command for energetic
systems and facilitates the secure post-flight recovery of
remaining installed munitions. “Collaborating with our partners to
develop the multi-drop Shryke payload to integrate seamlessly with
the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) design of the VAPOR 55 MX
gives us a real market advantage. Quick integration for the
warfighter continues to be our top priority,” said Jason Wright,
AeroVironment’s senior product line manager.
The open software and hardware architecture provides added
versatility to the VAPOR 55 MX and continues to allow customers to
integrate third-party payloads of their choice without being
impacted by excessive non-recurring engineering costs and schedule
delays.
