HERO loitering munitions provide man-portable and vehicle-launched precision strike for tactical military units.
The HERO family is a series of loitering munitions developed by UVision Air Ltd for front-line forces, special operations, and infantry units requiring independent long-range precision fire. The systems use a cruciform wing design for high maneuverability, enabling operators to maintain eyes-on-target and strike static or moving targets in complex battle environments.
Smaller HERO models (30, 90, and 120) are man-portable and deployable within minutes by a single operator, while larger variants (400EC, 900, and 1250) launch from land vehicles or naval vessels for extended range and heavier warheads. All models feature real-time operator control, C4 system connectivity, and mid-mission abort or target reassignment capability.
