Teledyne FLIR Defense Rogue 1 selected by U.S. Army for LASSO program

Teledyne (TDY) FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, announced that its Rogue 1 loitering munition system has been selected by the U.S. Army for its Low Altitude Stalking and Strike Ordnance program. Teledyne FLIR will deliver a variant of its Rogue 1 lethal UAS for LASSO. Launched in spring 2024, the U.S.-designed and built Rogue 1 already has been delivered to both U.S. Special Operations Command and the U.S. Marine Corps for their current loitering munition programs. “The precision and autonomy of the Rogue 1 platform make it ideally suited to achieve the Army’s goals for LASSO,” said Dr. JihFen Lei, President of Teledyne FLIR Defense and Senior Vice President of Teledyne’s Defense and Aerospace Group. “Rogue 1 leverages our expertise delivering battle-proven UAS technology, including the widely deployed Black Hornet nano-drone, which we believe can be used with Rogue 1 in an unrivaled ‘hunter-killer’ combination.”
