General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) y AeroVironment han desarrollado conjuntamente el sistema Precision Effects & Reconnaissance, Canister-Housed (PERCH). En síntesis, PERCH es un lanzador para las municiones merodeadoras Switchblade 300 y Switchblade 600 de AeroVironment, diseñado para los tanques de batalla principales M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 y los vehículos de combate blindado a rueda (VCBR) 8×8 Stryker. En América Latina, el Ejército Argentino opera el Stryker, por lo que Zona Militar dialogó con Mark Hu, gerente de Desarrollo de Negocios en Estados Unidos de GDLS, sobre por qué Buenos Aires debería interesarse en PERCH.

General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) and AeroVironment have co-developed the Precision Effects & Reconnaissance, Canister-Housed (PERCH) system. To summarize, PERCH is a launcher for AeroVironment’s Switchblade 300 and Switchblade 600 loitering munitions designed for the M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 main battle tanks and Stryker infantry carrier vehicles. In Latin America, Argentina’s Army operates the Stryker, so Zona Militar spoke with Mark Hu, Manager, U.S. Business Development at GDLS, about why Buenos Aires should be interested in PERCH.
