NIOA and AeroVironment Partner on Switchblade for Australia.

NIOA and AeroVironment Partner on Switchblade for Australia. Australia's NIOA Group and AeroVironment have entered a strategic partnership to introduce, sustain and expand AeroVironment's loitering munitions across Australia and New Zealand, the companies announced at the Land Forces exhibition in Australia. According to NIOA, the agreement "establishes a framework for cooperation across the AeroVironment portfolio, including the combat-proven Switchblade family of precision loitering munitions, and positions NIOA as AeroVironment's local partner for distribution, customer engagement, support and long-term capability development." The two firms stated the arrangement is intended to "support the introduction into service, sustainment and future growth of advanced loitering munitions capabilities across Australia and New Zealand." The partnership names NIOA as the regional point of contact for AeroVironment product distribution, customer engagement and sustainment. Both companies will "also explore opportunities to expand support and industrial capability in Australia," per the release, which pointed to a joint commitment to meet Australian Defence Force requirements and to examine local support, sustainment and future industrial capability development. The arrangement covers AeroVironment's broader portfolio including the Switchblade family of precision loitering munitions. Ben James, NIOA executive vice president for Australia and New Zealand, noted that the country's 2024 Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance (GWEO) plan, issued by the Australian military, called for introducing the Switchblade 300 into service with the Australian Army "by 2025," following an earlier acquisition announcement. "Combining NIOA's deep expertise in strategic munitions supply, manufacturing and support with AeroVironment's global leadership in loitering munitions and autonomous systems technology represents a significant win for both the ADF and in the integration of Australian and US industrial bases," James said. Justin McFarlin, AeroVironment vice president of international business development, said the partnership with NIOA combines "AeroVironment's combat-proven technologies with a trusted Australian defence industry partner to support customers, strengthen sovereign capability outcomes and establish the foundations for long-term growth across the region."

AV taps Attalon to provide high-energy laser systems for LOCUST weapon.

AV taps Attalon to provide high-energy laser systems for LOCUST weapon. AeroVironment (AV) is executing a long-term agreement with Attalon to obtain laser subsystems that will support the production and fielding of its high-energy laser systems at scale. The agreement centers on Attalon delivering its Valaris S laser subsystems for use across AV's expanding portfolio of high-energy laser programs, including its LOCUST weapon, which was cleared for US Army production and subsequently landed its first international customer this month. Alongside supplying its Valaris solution, Attalon is also expanding its production capacity, growing its skilled workforce, and adding capital equipment under a $15-million investment. "AV is proactively scaling our LOCUST production capabilities ahead of immediate demand, ensuring our defensive technologies are ready before the need arises," said Mary Clum, AV President of Space, Cyber, and Directed Energy. Valaris laser. Attalon unveiled its Valaris directed-energy solutions in August 2026, creating three variants to match different mission requirements. Valaris X is a coherently beam-combined system delivering 70-kilowatt (kW)-class power, scalable beyond 400 kW. Meanwhile, the Valaris S is a spectrally beam-combined mid-power system that can supply power within the 25- to 60-kW range. For missions requiring less power, the US company also developed the Valaris D dichroically beam-combined solution that can deliver 5- to 15-kW-class performance. The Valaris also incorporates the company's Kilowatt Interconnect (kWIC) Disconnect, a plug-and-play repair system that lets troops replace damaged laser components in the field.
