About the HERO family: The HERO family of loitering munitions comprises several models. Designed for different missions, from short-to-medium and long ranges and flight times using various warheads, the HERO series of high-precision loitering munitions provides operational forces with combined intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) and strike capabilities, enabling them to independently locate, track and engage time-sensitive, low-signature targets. These advanced munitions can loiter in the air in a clandestine manner for an extended period of time; locate and track the enemy; help to validate targets; and carry out a precise strike. The HERO system can abort an attack in mid-air, re-enter loitering mode, and then resume the attack, or re-assign targets, thus minimising collateral damage and providing operational forces with unsurpassed tactical flexibility on the modern battlefield.
