UVision wins US Army follow-on suicide drone order
This is a follow-up deal to a huge, multi-year contract that was signed in October 2025, for the supply of suicide drones for $982 million
Israeli missile and suicide drone manufacturer UVision Air, in collaboration with US defense technology company Mistral, has secured a contract from the US Army to supply Hero 120 suicide drones. The $50 million contract is a follow-on order to a $982 million deal signed in October 2025. The Hero 120 loitering munition has a range of 40 to 60 kilometers and can operate for about an hour.
It can be equipped with various warheads, including those for targeting armored vehicles and personnel. Mistral's advantage in this deal lies in its specialization in integrating security systems and technologies in the US. UVision has collaborations with numerous companies, including German firm Rheinmetall, and recently developed a container launch platform for their suicide drones, which could allow for swarm attacks and increased camouflage.
The Hero 120 is designed for front-line forces, such as Special Forces, and offers long-range independent fire capability. The drone can be remotely operated with real-time intelligence for situational awareness, enabling accurate strikes in complex environments. The system can either complete the mission on its own or be transferred to ground forces for increased efficiency.
UVision's Hero 120 model is a lightweight, high-precision loitering munition designed for engaging targets in complex environments, providing both ISR capabilities and lethal strike options.
