Raytheon and UVision signed a teaming agreement to work together on small short range loitering airborne munitions for US military requirements.
As part of the deal, Raytheon will adapt UVision's man-packed, canister-launched Hero-30 remotely-operated lethal loitering airborne munition system.
Raytheon will modify the Hero-30 for lethal target engagement as well as traditional airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. The adapted system will meet the U.S. Army's requirement for Lethal Miniature Aerial Missile Systems, also known as LMAMS.
The Hero-30 derivative could fulfill conventional small-unit and special-operations requirements. Previous user evaluations have determined Hero-30 to be extremely flexible and simple to operate for small-unit operations.
Hero 30 is capable of speeds of up to 100 knots and is ideal for anti-personnel missions. Weighing 3 kg, it can carry a 0.5 kg warhead, to a line of sight target at ranges of 5, 10 and 40 km. The electrically powered munition has an endurance of 30 minutes.
