UVision's Hero Loitering Munition to be integrated in Rheinmetall platforms
Israeli company UVision's Hero Loitering Munition (LM) will be integrated on board a variety of Rheinmetall platforms such as the Boxer CRV, the Lynx infantry fighting vehicle (under contract with the Hungarian MoD), and the Mission Master unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). Speaking at their inaugural Loitering Munition (LM) Symposium in Bristol on last month, Rheinmetall UK and UVision representatives have disclosed details of the future of their strategic co-operation agreement, which was signed in October 2021.
Janes.com reported that Simon Valencia, sales director UK & Ireland at Rheinmetall, said the companies had started working together on undisclosed sales efforts, as well as participation in “several running” European procurement programs for LMs. “In recent years and especially in the aftermath of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in Nagorno- Karabakh, UVision is experiencing a growing interest in its LM portfolio.

Due to the reported extensive and successful utilization of LMs in that conflict, a growing number of inquiries from leading NATO military forces were received,” Valencia said, adding that they have also had co-operation offers from several defense companies from around the world.

UVision and Rheinmetall's strategic agreement is also focused on the transition of UVision LM technologies into Europe. RWM Italia, a fully owned subsidiary of Rheinmetall, leads the “Europeanisation” process, which will eventually result in production, sales, after-sales support, and joint research and development, company officials confirmed. RWM Italia, through its warhead development capabilities, will introduce “innovative” Hero warheads alongside providing qualification to EU and NATO standards.
