Hero 120 was launched from a Bell 412EP helicopter



UVision Air's subsidiary, UVision USA, recently achieved a significant milestone by successfully demonstrating the airborne launch and engagement capabilities of their Hero 120 loitering munition. This demonstration took place at the US Army's EDGE 23 event held in May at Yuma Proving Ground.

During the trial, the Hero 120 was launched from a Bell 412EP helicopter, showcasing its ability to complete a sensor-to-shooter cycle by effectively striking a ground target. The test encompassed various parameters, including launching from a safe altitude that didn't compromise the helicopter's safety, seamless transfer of tactical control between on-board and ground operators, navigation of the munition to a forward location, system control within a range of 30km from the helicopter, and successfully hitting a ground target after a 50km flight.
