Yeah, Switchblade 300 is a 6 pound drone with 10 minutes of endurance and a 10 kilometer control range, with a blast roughly equal to a 40mm grenade. Switchblade 600 is 50 pounds with up to 80 kilometer range (if all its loiter time is used on linear flight), and the warhead might actually be from a Javelin missile based on one of AeroVironment's PR bits.
