UVision moves beyond loitering munitions with sensor-to-strike network

UVision unveiled new launch and ISR integrations at AUSA in Washington, expanding beyond loitering munitions with a networked sensor-to-effect architecture built around its CORTEX mission-management system. The company displayed an eight-canister launcher for the Hero120 alongside new airborne ISR links designed to tie sensing and strike nodes into a single operational loop.

UVision unveiled new launch and ISR integrations at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition in Washington, DC, expanding its portfolio beyond loitering munitions with a networked sensor-to-effect architecture built around its CORTEX mission-management system. The company displayed an eight-canister launcher for the Hero120 alongside new airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) links designed to tie sensing and strike nodes into a single operational loop. The Multi-Canister Launcher, shown in an eight-round configuration, is designed for remote operation and can be deployed on mobile, fixed, or containerized platforms across land and maritime environments. Itzik Huber, general manager of UVision, said the containerized solution can hold up to 20 Hero-120 or Hero-400 loitering munitions. Integrated with CORTEX, the launcher operates as part of a distributed network connecting surveillance assets, decision tools, and precision-strike capabilities. At the exhibition, UVision promoted persistent border defense as one application with launch nodes positioned along extended border areas and tied into CORTEX with ISR platforms, enabling continuous monitoring and rapid response across multiple sectors. The company also demonstrated an expanded sensing layer through the integration of Wayland Autonomy's IRIS airborne ISR payload with Tactical CORTEX. Dr. Ran Gozali, CEO of UVision, said the company is focused on bringing sensing, mission management, and a broader range of effects together. Headquartered in Emek Hefer, UVision has a strong foothold in Israel, India, and the United States. The war in Ukraine has led European nations to accelerate their investment in autonomous weapons and unmanned systems.
