Contractors with AeroVironment prepare JUMP 20-X with a Switchblade for a flight launch during Service Level Training Exercise 4-26 on Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California, July 16, 2026. The Switchblade is a small missile drone that is released from JUMP 20-x mid-flight and is controlled remotely by an operator to find a target and dive into it; while the JUMP 20-X is a Group 3 vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aircraft system designed for multi-domain operations across land and sea, combining the hovering capabilities of a multirotor with the range and efficiency of a fixed-wing plane. SLTE 4-26 is designed to be a challenging, realistic training environment that produces combat-ready forces capable of operating as an integrated Marine Air Ground Task Force across all domains of military operations.
