Overview
Family of precision loitering munitions designed for tactical and operational-level engagements. The Hero-120 is a man-portable system with a 3.5 kg warhead, endurance of 60 minutes, and range of 40 km — designed for company-level use against light vehicles, personnel, and soft targets. The Hero-400EC is a larger system with a 10 kg shaped-charge tandem warhead capable of defeating MBTs and hardened positions, endurance of 2 hours, and range of 150 km — designed for battalion/brigade-level anti-armour operations. Both feature EO/IR seeker with man-in-the-loop guidance, abort/re-engagement capability, and near-vertical terminal dive for precision impact. The Hero family includes variants from Hero-30 (backpack portable) through Hero-1250 (strategic strike). The US Marine Corps adopted the Hero-120 as the "ORGANIC PRECISION FIRES-INFANTRY" (OPF-I) system. Multiple NATO and allied nations have acquired or are evaluating the Hero family as a complement to traditional anti-tank missiles.
