TEXTRON SYSTEMS INTRODUCES DAMOCLES™ LAUNCHED EFFECT SYSTEM

Wilmington, Mass., Oct. 7, 2025 - Textron Systems Corporation, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announced today the introduction of its DamoclesTMlaunched effect (LE), a cutting-edge system designed to deliver a significant strategic advantage in peer warfare environments. With Textron Systems' advanced GEN2 Explosively Formed Penetrator (EFP), the Damocles LE delivers top-attack, electronic warfare, and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities as either a ground- or air-delivered payload.

Equipped with autonomous tracking capabilities and advanced artificial intelligence, the Damocles LE provides operators with advanced capabilities, while maintaining the human in the loop for mission supervision and decision-making. The precision unitary munition ensures accurate targeting, making it a highly effective tool in mission-critical scenarios. The Damocles LE also features a low acoustic signature, which enhances stealth and reduces detectability during operations.

To further enhance operational safety, the system includes features to prevent unexploded ordnance (UXO), reducing the risk of hazardous remnants on the battlefield.

The Damocles LE is built with a modular open systems architecture (MOSA) approach, allowing other payloads to be integrated into the system to support various Concept of Operations (CONOPS), such as electronic warfare effects.

"Textron Systems is the industry leader in EFP technologies, and the Damocles LE builds on our decades of experience to provide next-generation technology to the warfighter," said Henry Finneral, Senior Vice President, Weapon Systems. "We stand ready to provide our cost-effective solution at speed and at scale to provide mission support to the joint forces and allied nations."
