AEVEX Aerospace to Showcase Disruptor Loitering Munition at AUSA Annual Meeting 2024

San Diego, CA – AEVEX Aerospace, a leader in advanced unmanned systems, proudly announces the first public showcase of the Disruptor loitering munition at the 2024 AUSA Annual Meeting. Industry attendees and defense partners are invited to experience this cutting-edge development in stand-off weapon technology at Booth 2527.

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 600 km and 1150 km with up to a 50 lb. 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 50 lbs. 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.

“We are excited to unveil the Disruptor loitering munition at this year’s AUSA Annual Meeting”, said Brian Raduenz, CEO of AEVEX Aerospace. “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.” Visitors to the AEVEX booth will have the opportunity to engage with our team of experts, explore the Disruptor capabilities, and discuss future applications and integrations of this technology in their operations.
