HERO systems: Enhanced Lethality and Higher Survivability

The HERO family of loitering munition systems seamlessly integrates with helicopter, combat aircraft, and other airborne assets with flexibility, precision and rapid response, for consistently exacting performance. HERO versatility effectively eradicates targets on both land and sea, stationary or on the move. 

Aerial Launch & Operation 

HERO systems easily integrate into the air-vehicle avionics suite, allowing the aircrew to operate the munition with standard controls. Flight and guidance of the HERO on the aerial platform can also be transferred to ground forces, dramatically enhancing the operational range of the air-platform, and its ability to counter low-signature, time-sensitive targets, supporting ground or Naval forces.

The capability to operate at low altitudes – even below cloud level adds to the operational flexibility of the aerial-platform guidance systems, particularly in near-terrain-flying altitude airspace. Operation in a stand-off position significantly reduces exposure to possible threats, enabling it to penetrate and neutralize varied advanced air defenses.

HERO systems overcome environmental constraints, delivering high precision strikes from the air in challenging battlefield conditions, including GPS denied environment and communication interferences.

HERO Airborne Operational Key Features:

1. Aerodynamic Stability: HERO Loitering munitions maintain predictable flight trajectories and accuracy thanks to its unique structural design, which enables both steadiness and exceptional maneuverability at once.
2. Launch Platform Compatibility: HERO systems are easily mounted on any aerial platform without any interference with the platform electric systems.
3. Range and Lethality: HERO-400, 900 and 1250 are best in category for precision engagement of targets from the air.
4. Resistance to Countermeasures: The aerial launched HERO overcomes countermeasures from ground-based air defense systems or enemy aircraft with advanced electronic warfare capabilities, low radar cross-section, and decoy systems – including in GPS denied environment – to successfully complete its mission.
5. Safe Separation and Release: HERO munitions provide for safe separation and release: proper ejection mechanisms, avoidance of interference with the host aircraft’s operation, and stability during separation to prevent accidents or malfunctions.
6. Environmental Adaptability: HERO Airborne munitions operate at diverse altitudes, temperatures, and weather conditions, ensuring reliable performance in different operational scenarios.
7. Command and Control Systems integration: HERO Airborne munitions seamlessly integrate with the host aircraft. This enables coordinated mission planning, targeting, and complete control of the munition during its airborne operation.
