Hero 30

Hero 30 overview

Hero 30 is UVision Air's lightweight tube-launched loitering munition for squad, platoon, and other close tactical precision-strike missions. It is designed to be carried and launched by a small team, then operated as an electro-optical loitering attack system rather than as a conventional reusable reconnaissance aircraft.

UVision publishes a compact electric air vehicle with deployable cruciform wings and a rear pusher propeller. The manufacturer reports a 3-kg launch weight, a 0.5-kg warhead class, up to 30 minutes of endurance, a 10-km range, and a 100-knot maximum speed. Those figures are manufacturer-reported and can vary with warhead, battery, weather, flight profile, and the definition of range; the catalog artwork shows the aircraft without its launch container and is not measurement evidence.

Hero 30 has been marketed internationally as part of the Israeli Hero family, but public sources do not establish one complete operator list or uniform procurement history for every variant. Through September 2026, it remains a commercially offered light loitering munition with reported military users, not a platform for which every fielded configuration is publicly documented. Family-level Hero performance should not be assumed to describe Hero 30 without checking the variant.
