Check out the Hellhound, a 375-mph 3D-printed turbojet-powered exploding drone competing for a spot in the US Army's arsenal

Story by cpanella@businessinsider.com (Chris Panella) • 15h

Cummings Aerospace showed off its Hellhound loitering munition at SOF Week 2025 in Tampa, Florida.


The system is mostly 3D-printed, can fly at speeds over 375 mph, and is powered by a turbojet engine.

CEO Sheila Cummings told BI said the drone's design and features make it unique compared to others on the market.

A couple feet long, rounded, relatively lightweight, and easy to make, this exploding drone can fly fast and attaches to a rucksack.
 
That's the basics of Hellhound, a loitering munition made by Cummings Aerospace based in Huntsville, Alabama. This kind of weapon features characteristics of both missiles and drones, delivering surveillance and strike in a single package.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
