AV is Perfectly Positioned for the Shifting Demands of Tomorrow’s Warfighters The Trump administration has identified its critical priorities for the Department of Defense…and AV has responded One-Way Attack Includes loitering munitions designed for precision strikes against high-value targets. Their cost-effectiveness and ability to overwhelm enemy defenses make them a priority for modern warfare. Autonomous Systems AI-driven land, air, and sea platforms capable of operating with minimal human intervention. These systems enhance operational effectiveness and reduce risks to human personnel. C-UAS Given the growing use of drones in modern conflicts, the U.S. DoD is investing in technologies to detect, track, and neutralize enemy drones, ensuring force protection and air superiority. Cybersecurity Protecting critical infrastructure, military networks, and sensitive data from cyber threats is essential as adversaries increasingly use cyber warfare tactics to disrupt U.S operations and exploit vulnerabilities. Munitions Modernizing precision-guided weapons, hypersonic missiles, and long-range strike capabilities is key to maintaining deterrence and readiness against near-peer adversaries in high-end conflicts.

Slide 28 © 2025 AeroVironment, Inc. Increased Emphasis on Precision and Flexibility Drives Demand for One-Way Attack Systems Across All Echelons “Unlike existing direct and indirect fire weapon systems, LASSO’s discreet payload and unique capability delivers Soldiers the ability to abort against targets in a dynamic situation (e.g., use of human shields) or prosecute targets that would have been deemed non-viable in past due to the higher collateral damage associated with alternative munitions.” US Army’s Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Justification. Greater Precision Minimizes Collateral Damage and Reliance on Combat Service Support Increased Range Compared to Traditional Tactical Indirect Fire Systems “The advantage of having all the way down to the squad level a weapon system that can fly, can shoot even maybe out of a mortar tube and loiter for 40-45 minutes, [or] out of a vehicle that can loiter for 90 minutes … is huge, because at the time that you launch that munition either A, you may not have a precise location for the target, or B, it may be moving. It gives you so much flexibility to engage either targets that are concealed or targets that are moving because of the loiter time.” General David Berger, Former Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps Problem

Rising Threat Environment In the Pacific Highlights the Critical Demand for Autonomous Maritime Systems $700B+ Cost of U.S. Aircraft Carriers, Destroyers, and Submarines The goal of the Replicator Initiative – currently being written into FY2025 Budget documents – is to deliver thousands of relatively low-cost, “attritable” autonomous systems across multiple domains, including maritime, to the Indo-Pacific within 18 to 24 months to help the Pentagon counter China’s military buildup. August 2024. Deputy Defense Secretary, Kathleen Hicks. ~90,000 Crew needed across US Aircraft Carriers, Destroyers and Submarines “In the Indo-Pacific, the growing threat from China demands that we leverage autonomous systems to protect our high-value naval assets—like carriers and amphibious ships—by deploying autonomous platforms to detect, deter, and defeat adversary actions in contested maritime spaces. These systems extend our sensing and strike capabilities, preserving our crewed fleet for decisive operations.” November 2024. Commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Samuel J.
