# Army Expands Launched Effects Fielding

The U.S. Army reports that Launched Effects systems have reached 11 of 12 divisions and all multi-domain task forces, with deliveries to the final division expected to begin in December 2026. The effort follows a plan directed in April 2025 to field the systems across the force by the end of 2026. Griffon Aerospace supplies most of the systems, while the Army uses the DoD drone marketplace and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) contracting to accelerate procurement. Payload demand includes intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), electronic warfare, and kinetic missions.

- The scale of fielding signals continuing demand for unmanned platforms, mission payloads, integration, training, and support, but the signals provide no contract value, solicitation, or contract number.
- Griffon Aerospace’s reported ability to deliver hundreds of systems monthly highlights production capacity as a relevant factor for prospective suppliers and subcontractors.
- Companies with relevant platform, payload, integration, or support capabilities can assess how they fit the Army’s use of the DoD drone marketplace and OTA procurement approach; no specific open opportunity or submission deadline is identified.
