Lethal, Long-Endurance Loitering Munition System
The Hero-400EC, a member of the Hero family of Loitering Munitions, is a long-range, multi-purpose weapon system which meets the complex requirements of the modern battlefield.

The Hero-400EC is all-electric, with low signatures (visual, acoustic & thermal) capable of locating, tracking, and engaging both stationary and moving targets with exceptional accuracy.

Hero-400EC system is designed to fit operational requirements of field-deployed units tasked with covering extended ranges, and launched safely away from enemy lines . It is vehicle-transported and launched, deployed within several minutes, can fly and loiter for longer time and is equipped with more significant warheads. Its unique design allows for exceptional maneuverability, an advanced mid-air abort capability that allows automatic re-entry into loitering mode, re-engagement, or return to the recovery area using a parachute.

The LM has gimbaled and stabilized day/night EO sensor that enables detection and engaging target as well as automatic target tracking.
ESAD (The Electronic Safe and Arm Device) fuse allows in-flight configuration selection between Impact, and proximity triggering to match target type and attack profile.

Launch Platforms
Hero-400EC system can be launched from a single or multi canister launcher and carried on a variety of Land or Naval platforms.

On land the single canister pneumatic launcher can be mounted on any type of truck, provided by the end-user. Controlling and operating the LM is performed from within the cabin or by the same hand-held operator control unit of a dismounted force. In this configuration the launcher can be fully concealed in the truck’s container.

Multi-Canister Launcher of the Hero-400EC can contain up to 12 munitions and is usually mounted on armored vehicles or Frigates/ Battleships, if at sea.

Additional launching option is a simple towed rail-launcher. The munition is opened and mounted manually on the rail launcher, launched (also with a pneumatic launching mechanism) and controlled by the same hand-held operator control unit of a dismounted force. Such option might be simpler from logistical point of view, utilize existing the customer’s land vehicles, allowing easier concealment of the launcher, and can be more cost-effective.
