UVision Air

UVision Air is one of the principal global suppliers of loitering munitions — the Hero family spans the small Hero-30 through the large Hero-1250, with substantial US, European, and international customer programs. The Hero series has expanded sharply in the post-2022 European demand environment.

UVision Air is one of the principal global suppliers of loitering munitions — the airborne weapon category that combines unmanned aerial vehicle persistence with integrated weapon capability for autonomous or semi-autonomous target engagement. The Hero family covers the full size and range spectrum of the loitering munition category, from the small Hero-30 (designed for individual-soldier deployment) through the Hero-1250 (long-range strategic loitering munition).

The Hero series operates across substantial US, European, and adjacent international customer programs. The Hero-120 has been adopted by the US Marine Corps. The Hero-400 series has multiple European customer programs. The Hero-1250 has been positioned for strategic loitering munition roles in adjacent international markets.

For Defense pillar coverage in The Olam, UVision matters as the principal Israeli specialist in the loitering munition category — alongside IAI (Harop) and Elbit (SkyStriker) but with substantially deeper product-family coverage across multiple size tiers. The category itself has been one of the highest-growth areas of the post-2022 European demand environment, with operational validation from Russia-Ukraine threat-environment use driving sustained customer interest.
