Germany Expresses Interest in Uvision’s Loitering Weapon Systems

Arie Egozi - : Dec 17, 2024 - : 3:47 am

Israeli company Uvision, in cooperation with Rheinmetal, plans to demonstrate its advanced loitering weapon systems to German military experts in the coming months.

The successful use of loitering weapon systems by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) in the ongoing war has dramatically enhanced the interest of European countries in the systems. England and Finland have in recent years purchased some of the company’s systems and are expected to buy more.

Israeli sources said that the Germans are especially interested in the recently unveiled capability of the autonomous multi-launch system. The system is now capable of launching and managing multiple HERO 120 munitions simultaneously, coupled with advanced mission planning capabilities.

“This is a unique system that allows launching multiple loitering weapon systems to hit different targets in a wide area,” a source said. He added that existing users of the company’s loitering weapon systems, such as the U.S special operations command, are also interested in the new capability.

According to Uvision , the newly introduced system offers unprecedented operational flexibility to armed forces, allowing for autonomous mission management from target engagement to neutralization. It 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 containerized design of the HERO-120 system ensures quick deployment across various platforms without the need for mechanical or electrical modifications.
