The new AI-driven system orchestrates heterogeneous loitering munitions – rotary and fixed-wing – as a single integrated force for terrain dominance and cost-effective mission success

DSEI 2025, 9-12 September, London, Booth N10-310

DSEI 2025, London – September 2, 2025, UVision Air Ltd., a global pioneer in loitering munition systems, is unveiling a major advancement in autonomous warfare: an AI-based Common Operating System (COS) that serves as a unified platform for operating multiple loitering munitions of various classes, mission types, and deployment levels.

Designed for full interoperability, the COS enables seamless integration of rotary-wing platforms such as the Viper system by SpearUAV – operated at tactical team levels including squad, platoon, battalion, and beyond – alongside Uvision’s fixed-wing HERO family, including the long-range, high-payload HERO-120 and HERO-400. The result is a truly heterogeneous ecosystem, all operating under a single AI-powered control layer.

At the core of the system is a multi-layered AI engine that autonomously manages complex mission execution across a heterogeneous array of assets. Tasks are intelligently allocated: one munition may penetrate and disrupt electronic warfare defenses, another performs ISR and real-time target acquisition, and a third executes a coordinated precision strike. This mission-centricdistribution ensures real-time adaptability to evolving threats, delivering both terrain dominance and operational superiority.

The COS performs continuous optimization based on target profile, terrain, and platform availability, maximizing effect while minimizing resource expenditure. This allows commanders to make data-driven decisions on how many and which types of munitions to deploy for maximum mission effectiveness and cost-efficiency.

With an open-architecture design, UVision’s COS integrates seamlessly into existing command-and-control ecosystems, reducing barriers to adoption and enhancing cross-platform synergy.

Dr. Ran Gozali, CEO of UVision Air Ltd., stated:
“This new Common Operating System transforms loitering munitions into a smart, coordinated system-of-systems. It reflects UVision’s strategic shift toward integrated, modular combat solutions that are both operationally decisive and cost-effective. Forces no longer need to expend high-end weapons for every target. Instead, they can deploy the right capability for each mission and dominate the battlespace with agility and intelligence.”

Saab has revealed Nimbrix, its first ever dedicated Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) missile. The missile is developed to counter the increasing threat from small drones on the battlefield.

The fire-and-forget missile is being rapidly developed at Saab with the aim to deliver a system featuring a target seeker, a hard-kill warhead, and a small footprint – all at a low cost. The range will be up to 5 km with an active seeker to track its target. Its warhead can effectively engage and defeat UAS swarms using an air-burst mode.

“Nimbrix is our answer to the unmanned aerial threats which have escalated in the last few years. It is cost-effective which is critical given the proliferation of UASs on the battlefield. Nimbrix benefits from our long experience of air defence, together with an agile way of responding to new needs,” says Stefan Öberg, head of Saab’s business unit Missile Systems.

The missile operates as a ground-based system and can be operated independently or as part of a larger air defence system. With flexible mounting options to fit different customer requirements, Nimbrix can be mounted on various vehicles or in fixed configurations. The cost-effective nature of the missile contributes to maximising deployed numbers to generate sufficient air defence coverage.

Customer discussions are ongoing and Saab aims for first deliveries in 2026. Nimbrix will be showcased during DSEI in London, UK from 9-12 September 2025, at the Saab stand, N9-105.
