UVision USA, the US subsidiary of UVision Air, has successfully completed a High Altitude mission execution of its Hero 120 loitering munition system.
With the ability to identify targets from a high altitude and conduct pin-point strikes, the system demonstrated a successful sensor-to shooter-cycle closure, carrying a substantial payload of 4.5 kilograms. The upgraded Hero-120 enhances the already proven capabilities with an additional operational discriminator.
“The successful execution of a mission from high altitude marks a significant milestone in the expanding capabilities portfolio of the Hero-120,” said Major General (Ret.) Avi Mizrachi, CEO of UVision Air, the parent company of UVision USA. “This technological achievement was made possible through precise aerodynamic adjustments that enabled the Hero 120 to withstand the challenging conditions of such altitudes. This capability complements the Hero-120’s recently announced ability to launch from a helicopter, further demonstrating the absolute advantage of Hero-120”.
The Hero 120 Loitering Munition System is a mid-range, anti-tank system designed to meet the demands of the modern battlefield. It employs high-precision strikes against anti-armor, anti-material, and anti-personnel targets, including tanks, vehicles, and soft targets in urban areas.
