The U.S. subsidiary of the Israeli company UVision and the U.S. company SAIC have signed an agreement for the manufacture of UVision's Hero 120 loitering weapon systems in the U.S.

 

The Hero 120 Loitering Weapon Systems will be produced in Charleston, South Carolina, USA, significantly enhancing rapid response capabilities for all UVision clients in the United States.

The collaboration with SAIC is aimed at establishing a fully independent domestic supply chain, ensuring that UVision’s U.S. clients benefit from reduced dependency on international supply chains, faster delivery times, local training by expert teams, and comprehensive post-sale support and maintenance.
