UVision USA, the US subsidiary of UVision Air, a global leader in aerial loitering systems, announced the completion of the successful 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. 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.
