“The system is simple to operate and allows field forces to quickly respond with the ability to eliminate any immediate threat that arises.”

The 2.1m-long Hero-400EC is equipped with a new electric motor that delivers high-speed transit and low-speed loitering with much lower acoustic and thermal signatures that help improve stealth.

The aerodynamic cruciform design offers high-precision terminal engagement accuracy against static and moving targets, or targets in confined urban environments. This helps reduce collateral damage.

Featuring a wing-span of 2.4m and a maximum take-off weight of 40kg, the system’s deployable wings enable any angle of attack and provide missile-level pinpoint strike capabilities.

Additional features of the systems are a stabilised electro-optic / infrared (EO / IR) payload, a line-of-sight two-way data link with a range between 40km-150km, a man-in-the-loop capability, and two-hour endurance.

Operational altitude of the system is 18,000ft with loitering / transit speeds of 50k-150k.

The rail-launched UVision system can be controlled by a single operator and can also be launched from a modular multi-tube canister.
