Aevex Aerospace Showcases Disruptor Loitering Munition at AUSA

AUSA 2024 saw the first public showcase of AEVEX Aerospace’s Disruptor loitering munition.

The Disruptor is a Group III loitering munition with robust capabilities in air, land, and sea tactical scenarios. Boasting a configuration-dependent mission range between 600km and 1150km with up to a 50lb payload, the Disruptor delivers unprecedented performance in delivering effects.

AEVEX Disruptors are combat-proven, multi-role, attritable UAS capable of performing various tasks – precision attack, communications relay, full spectrum EW, cyber effects, or precision sensor emplacement in a fully GPS/Comms denied environment. The munition’s payload includes options for fragmentation, penetration, or incendiary effects in a point detonation or height-over-burst configuration, further enhanced by optional Visual Based Navigation capabilities. This UAS utilizes a Group III pneumatic launcher or Rocket Assisted Take Off (RATO) and can carry up to a 50lbs payload. Notable for its long-range operational efficacy, AEVEX’s loitering munitions are extensively utilized in global defense activities, solidifying AEVEX’s reputation in unmanned systems technology.

Brian Raduenz, CEO of AEVEX Aerospace, said; “We are excited to unveil the Disruptor loitering munition at this year’s AUSA Annual Meeting.

“This UAS demonstrates the commitment and dedication AEVEX has to the unmanned aerial and loitering munitions sectors. We’ve designed our systems to responsively meet evolving needs that yield real world operational results.”
