This is the Switchblade 600 which is a man-portable, tube-launched kamikaze drone system, with a powerful warhead that can attack Anti Armour vehicles.
But According to the Company, this is an advanced Loitering Missile.

When the Shahid kamikaze Drone was made under a budget of 10 to $40,000 in spite of the sanctions.

The American War Machine with a budget of more than 700 billion dollars took notice and awarded Aero Vironment defense contractor to engineer a Kamekazi drone for under 10 to $20,000.

This might be a worthy replacement for the, $78,000 javelin missile that cost 4 times more.
Again points to be noted the Shahid or Geran 2 could cover distances of about 1500 kilometers while the Switch Blade 600 has a range of 40 kilometers.

But what, it lags in range the Switch Blade Kammekazi drone or missile makes up with its precision and command and control tracking.

In addition to the lower IR signature, and according to a conversation with an engineer who saw the data, the YF-23 beat the YF-22 by 10 DECIBELS on radar signature, which translates to a roughly 44% reduction in detection range (detection range varies with the fourth root of the radar cross section). Wind tunnel testing showed the YF-23 to already be stable to 60 degrees angle of attack, and thrust vectoring could have been added, according to Northrop engineers.
