/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Mistral Inc. and its teammate, UVision Inc., announced today that the HERO-90 loitering munition has been selected by the Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier to participate in the U.S. Army’s Low Altitude Stalking and Attack (LASSO) Munitions Program, an urgent initiative to provide a precision and portable anti-armor protection for Combat Brigades.
LASSO is a United States Army initiative to provide dismounted units with a portable, precision munitions capability for rapid and lethal engagement of armored threats.
The HERO-90, developed by UVision, delivers extended-range anti-armor precision from a highly portable form factor, enabling rapid launch by a single operator in less than two minutes. Configurable warheads (including anti-armor), abort/re-engage mission options, and secure beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) communications provide decisive effects with the best strike capabilities.
“The selection of HERO-90 reflects the Army’s focus on portability, lethality and integration compatible with the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA). Together with UVision, Mistral will support the Soldier Precision Targeting Devices Program Management (PdM) with a solution that aligns with Common Control and seamlessly integrates across the entire kill chain. Combat Brigades (BCT, for its acronym in English)”. —Yoav Banai, Senior Vice President, Mistral Inc.
“The Army’s LASSO program is accelerating an anti-armor transformation capability for dismounted units. HERO-90 was designed precisely for this mission: quick to deploy, lethal at range, and adaptable through open architectures. We are proud to collaborate with Mistral to provide this overhaul to American soldiers.” — JarminBlanton, Vice President of Business Development, Sales and Marketing.
