The decades of work that turned large electronics into smaller, more capable machines is mostly background noise in daily life, but sometimes it strikes all at once when staring at a new exploding drone that weighs just under 7 pounds Announced earlier this week, the HERO-30 Short-Range Loitering System, made by Israel\u2019s UVision in partnership with Raytheon, is a loitering munition, a miniature explosion in a small flying body designed for use by infantry against human targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"448\" height=\"252\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Hero302.gif.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87346\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The lightweight single-use exploding drone is piloted through a hand-held controller, feeding video back to the pilot as it moves through the sky.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UVision demonstrated two Hero-30 flights to an audience of military observers earlier this month. Afterwards, UVision CEO Noam Levitt <a href=\"https:\/\/uvisionuav.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/UVision-Hero-30-4.6.18.pdf\">noted in a release<\/a> that the demonstrations had less than a one meter Circular Error Probable, suggesting a high degree of accuracy. (Given that CEP is a statistical measure, a little odd to use it to describe the accuracy of a set of two.) More important that statistical disagreement, the whole package of a lightweight munition (roughly 7 pounds) with a 1-pound warhead hitting a target within a meter of where it was aimed is designed to convey a tight accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The HERO-30 can fly at up to 115 mph, hit targets at a range of between 3 and 25 miles, and fly for a total of 30 minutes. It is launched from a canister, and built for \u201canti-personnel missions or against light vehicles,\u201d perhaps insurgents in gun-carrying trucks or other lightly equipped forces. UVision notes, in a blanket description of the HERO family of loitering munitions, that the drone can abort a mission mid-flight and then be redirected to another target. (The language is less clear on the drone being aborted and then landed for future use).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What stands out the most here, though, is not any particular feature, but that the whole package seems designed as a high-end alternative to simple mortars. The drone is in the same ballpark weight as a smaller mortar round, with a greater range and the ability to call off the shot after it\u2019s been fired. We\u2019ve seen drones used to carry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/unmanned\/2018\/06\/04\/belarus-reveals-drone-that-is-a-rocket-launcher-with-rotors\/\">anti-tank weapons<\/a>, and we\u2019ve seen somewhat larger but still infantry portable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/unmanned\/2018\/05\/29\/the-predator-ax-1-is-slovakias-new-suicide-drone\/\">single-use loitering munitions<\/a>, but this is the first I\u2019ve ever come across that seems, in function if not form, more a substitute for a piece of ammunition more than a replacement for a missile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Single use explosive-carrying drones are getting small enough that they might be a competitive alternative to missiles and, just maybe, some forms of light artillery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":111451,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":21,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[106,29,32,21,111],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3021],"class_list":["post-30925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-brief","category-home","category-newsletters","category-unmanned","category-unmanned-systems"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"ROTPQYOQLZAYZJ7PKFQMKDAMK4","arc_canonical_url":"\/unmanned\/2018\/06\/07\/lightweight-loitering-munition-promises-to-be-as-accurate-as-the-human-piloting-it\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lightweight loitering munition promises to be as accurate as the human piloting it - C4ISRNet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Single use explosive-carrying drones are getting small enough that they might be a competitive alternative to missiles and, just maybe, some forms of light artillery.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Lightweight loitering munition promises to be as accurate as the human piloting it\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Single use explosive-carrying drones are getting small enough that they might be a competitive alternative to missiles and, just maybe, some forms of light artillery.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/unmanned\/2018\/06\/07\/lightweight-loitering-munition-promises-to-be-as-accurate-as-the-human-piloting-it\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"C4ISRNet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-06-07T22:18:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T18:33:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kelsey D.
