UVision USA, a global pioneer in loitering munition systems, unveils its latest innovation: the autonomous multi-launch system. This cutting-edge solution marks a significant evolution from single munition operations to an advanced multi loitering munitions system capable of launching and managing multiple HERO 120 munitions simultaneously, coupled with advanced mission planning capabilities. The newly introduced system offers unprecedented operational flexibility to armed forces, allowing for autonomous mission management from target engagement to neutralisation. The autonomous multi-launch system integrates seamlessly with various intelligence-gathering platforms, including tactical UAS, drones, and command and control systems.
The system’s real-time AI-driven automatic target recognition and mission management capabilities ensure rapid and accurate responses to both pre-identified and time-sensitive targets. Operators can deploy multiple loitering munitions per operator, with the system continuously processing intelligence from multiple sources. Designed for saturated area dominance, the system can launch munitions in waves, overwhelming enemy defence and providing operators with full mission control and the ability to abort missions mid-flight if necessary. The containerised design of the HERO-120 system ensures quick deployment across various platforms without the need for mechanical or electrical modifications. Its unparalleled mobility and flexibility make it easily integrable with existing and third-party command and control structures on trucks, naval vessels, and other mobile platforms.
Dr. Ran Gozali, Chairman of the Board of Directors, UVision USA and CEO of UVision Air, said:”Our new holistic battlefield solution revolutionises mission planning and execution. With the ability to manage multiple loitering munitions and autonomously decide the engagement of multiple targets, operators can concentrate on strategic decisions, enhanced lethality and fire-power efficiency while operating from stand-off position.”
UVision Air Ltd. is an Israeli defense technology company established in 2011. It engaged in the development, manufacturing and sales of advance missiles and loitering munition systems for land, air, and naval military forces. The company’s products, called HERO, are designed for targeted attacks against a variety of threats at various ranges. Since 2011, Israeli defense company UVision has been at the forefront of developing advanced loitering munitions with its Hero family of systems. The product line includes six models, ranging from the man-portable Hero-30, designed for short-range anti-personnel missions, to the Hero-1250, capable of engaging long-range, armored targets.
Among these, the Hero-120 stands out for its versatility. It offers a balance between portability and firepower, often deployed from vehicle-mounted multi-canister launchers with 4-, 6-, or 8-cell configurations. With an endurance of up to 60 minutes in loitering mode, the Hero-120 can perform critical ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) functions, operating at altitudes from 360 to 5,500 meters. Its gimballed EO/IR day-night vision system, combined with auto-tracking technology, ensures precision in targeting. Equipped with a 4.5 kg anti-armor/anti-personnel warhead, the drone’s low visibility, acoustic, and IR signatures make it ideal for stealth operations. The operator can also abort attacks and return the drone to loitering mode, or recover it via parachute if conditions allow, making it a flexible tool on the modern battlefield.
