Mistral Inc. and Uvision Inc. announced that the HERO 90 loitering munition has been selected by Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier to participate in the U.S. Army’s Low Altitude Stalking and Strike Ordnance (LASSO) program, an urgent initiative to deliver a man-portable, precision anti-armor capability to Brigade Combat Teams.
LASSO is a U.S. Army initiative to provide dismounted units with a man-portable, precision loitering munition capability for rapid, lethal engagement of armored threats.
The HERO 90, developed by Uvision, delivers extended-range, counter-armor precision from a highly portable form factor, supporting rapid launch by a single operator in under two minutes. Configurable warheads (including anti-armor), mission-abort/re-engage options, and secure BLOS communications provide decisive effects with top attack capabilities.
"Selection of HERO 90 reflects the Army’s focus on portability, lethality, and MOSA-ready integration. Together with Uvision, Mistral will support PdM Soldier Precision Targeting Devices with a solution that aligns to Common Control and integrates seamlessly across the BCT kill chain." Yoav Banai, Senior Vice President, Mistral Inc.
