AeroVironment unveiled its Tomahawk Grip TA5 on September 13, 2025, an 8-inch tactical controller designed to deliver enhanced situational awareness, precision strike capabilities, and seamless scalability for modern warfighters. The Grip TA5 integrates with the military-grade Samsung Tab Active5 Tactical Edition, transforming it into a mobile command center.
The Grip TA5 was selected as the Dismounted Common Controller (DCC) for the U.S. Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) Human-Machine Integrated Formations (HMIF) rapid prototyping project. This selection advances human-machine teaming and strengthens battlefield command and control.
Weighing just 2.5 pounds, the rugged controller meets MIL-STD-810 standards and offers enhanced software security, advanced networking, and hot-swapping flexibility. It is compatible with U.S. Army programs like Low Altitude Stalking and Strike Ordinance (LASSO) and Long Range Reconnaissance (LRR), with shipping expected to begin in late 2025.
