An undisclosed NATO country has\u00a0awarded<\/a>\u00a0Germany\u2019s Rheinmetall and Israeli UVision a contract to develop HERO loitering munition systems for its military.<\/p>\n

The transaction includes the delivery of the next-generation Hero-30 combat system, a classified amount of munitions, related equipment, logistics, support, and training.<\/p>\n

The order, placed in July 2022, is valued at six figures. It was awarded under secrecy clauses that limit the details revealed to the public, according to Rheinmetall.<\/p>\n

The project is expected to be delivered in 2023, with potential additional orders.<\/p>\n

Before the sale, the NATO partner conducted a market survey on the HERO\u2019s effectiveness in service with other armed forces, including the US Marine Corps.<\/p>\n

There is also the potential for additional purchases of the next-in-series HERO loitering munitions due to the \u201chigh operability\u201d the country observed with the system.<\/p>\n

Loitering Munitions<\/p>\n

Loitering munitions<\/a>\u00a0are remote-controlled airborne precision-strike systems that combine the advantages of guided missiles and drones.<\/p>\n

The weapons allow target acquisition, intelligence gathering, and extended range firepower that few systems are capable of, Rheinmetall said.<\/p>\n

When fired, the munitions can remain undetected in the air for an extended period, strike autonomously, abort a mission, reassign to other targets, and resume strike.<\/p>\n

Most loitering munitions include a single or multi-canister launcher, communications technology, and a ground control module.<\/p>\n

These light unmanned aerial systems use high-resolution electro-optical and infrared sensors to identify and monitor critical low-signature targets.<\/p>\n
