With its ability to cause minimal collateral damage and equipped with a range of multipurpose warheads, the Hero-120SF offers operational users an unparalleled effective engagement solution.
Tailored for Special Forces operations, the Hero-120SF includes enhancements such as improved payload capacity, advanced guidance systems, and increased flexibility for deployment from various platforms.
Major General (Retired) Avi Mizrachi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of UVision USA, stated: “This significant contract with the U.S. Special Operations Command, a uniquely important entity, supported by our strong partnership with Mistral, underscores the commitment of both UVision and Mistral to provide cutting-edge technology and operational expertise to safeguard U.S. national security.”
Production of the Hero-120SF will take place at UVision USA’s facilities in Virginia and at the new SAIC plant that opened in March.
