Loitering munition Hero-120SF: UVision and Mistral to supply US Special Operations Command

The US government is procuring Hero-120SF loitering munitions for US Special Operations Command: UVision Inc and Mistral Inc have won the contract worth around 69 million euros. In addition to the munitions themselves, the package includes spare parts, training and proposals for engineering changes. The contracted work is expected to be completed by 2029.

Major General Avi Mizrachi, CEO of UVision USA, commented on the order: “This significant contract with US Special Operations Command, supported by our strong partnership with Mistral, underlines the commitment of both UVision and Mistral to providing cutting-edge technology and operational know-how to protect the national security of the USA”.

Loitering munition against tanks

The Hero-120SF loitering munition system was developed as a modern medium-range anti-tank weapon, specifically against heavy targets – tanks as well as other armoured vehicles. Multi-purpose warheads in various versions allow the Hero-120SF to be deployed more flexibly from different platforms. Its higher precision is also intended to keep collateral damage to a minimum.
