The American Jump 20 tactical aircraft is armed with Switchblade 300 barrage munitions, which increases the range of enemy targets.

Jump 20 is a tactical level drone capable of vertical takeoff and landing. The modular design allows you to carry a load of up to 13.6 kg. The Jump 20 was designed for reconnaissance and artillery guidance, but in 2022 manufacturer AeroVironment demonstrated that it can also launch Switchblade 300 kamikaze drones.

Technical features of Jump 20 UAV:

• length – 2.9 m;
• wingspan – 5.7 m;
• mass – 97.5 kg;
• flight range – 185 km;
• flight time – about 14 hours.

Launching the Switchblade 300 kamikaze drone from the Jump 20 drone increases the range of the ammunition when diving from higher. After detecting a target using an aircraft-type UAV camera, the military does not need to specially send a ground crew with the launcher, it is enough to remotely control the unmanned aerial vehicle to launch it.

The Switchblade 300 weighs about 2.5kg with the warhead and can stay in flight for 20 to 40 minutes. The flight range of the ammunition when launched from the ground is 10 km. According to preliminary data, when a kamikaze drone is launched from a drone, the damage range increases by 2-2.5 times.
