Under a US Army prototype deal, Textron Systems will supply its Damocles loitering munition for assessment within the LASSO initiative. The VTOL-enabled system integrates a GEN2 penetrator warhead and removes the need for separate launch or recovery equipment. Its modular open-systems design enables rapid reconfiguration for multiple mission sets, including ISR and EW roles. Built for autonomous operations in degraded battlespaces, Damocles emphasizes flexibility and operational safety.
