Israel-based UVision Air Ltd. and South Korea based Firstec Co. Ltd. have agreed to a partnership where Firstec will sell UVision’s short-range HERO-30 Lethal Loitering Systems to their South Korean market. UVision specializes in the field of lethal aerial loitering systems, while Firstec is a Korean manufacturer working in the field of aerospace and aviation. 

“We are pleased to announce our cooperation with FIRSTEC, a leading and long-established Korean manufacturer in the areas of aerospace and aviation,” UVision CEO Noam Levitt said in a statement. “South Korea is a strategic market for us for two main reasons. First, we have identified a need in this market for systems such as our HERO-30, which can effectively meet the complex and evolving threats faced by South Korea. In addition, we see it as a technology leader in the area and as such, a starting point for the entire Asian market.”

Yong Woo Jeon, CEO and president of Firstec, added, “We are proud to represent UVision in Korea – a pioneer in the area of loitering munition systems, and one of the few companies with products in this field that have already been sold and proven. This will be a stepping stone for FIRSTEC in strengthening its position as a leading provider of total unmanned systems in Korea.”

The Hero 30 is the smallest system of UVision's HERO family of smart loitering systems. It is primarily used for delivering short range pinpoint strikes in both remote and urban locations where prompt target response and minimizing collateral damage is key.
