UVision Acquires SpearUAV

Tel Aviv: Israeli company UVision has announced the complete acquisition of Israeli defence tech company and developer of encapsulated AI-based loitering systems, SpearUAV. 
The acquisition marks another significant step in UVision’s continued expansion, and in its strategy to deliver a comprehensive, multi-layered approach of loitering munitions across all domains to customers around the globe.
This acquisition will accelerate SpearUAV’s ability to realise its vision as the integral “battalion-level air force”, providing persistent support and operational reach. It is centered on the Viper family of encapsulated AI-driven loitering systems that bring reconnaissance, attack, Electronic Warfare (EW) and Counter-UAS (C-UAS) advanced capabilities, amplifying multi-mission dominance across air, ground, sea and sub-sea domains.
The Viper family and product portfolio complement UVision’s HERO family of loitering munitions, together forming an integrated suite of systems that can set new versatile solutions for the growing demand in the global defence market.
While HERO systems address missions at higher echelons, providing precision surveillance, target acquisition, and strike capabilities for tactical and operational formations, Viper systems focus on lower tactical levels, including units operating from ground vehicles, navy vessels and submarines.
Dr Ran Gozali, CEO of UVision, stated, “We have great confidence in SpearUAV’s management team, technologies, innovation and capabilities. Over recent years, Spear’s strategy has aligned closely with our long-term vision. As UVision continues to expand – including our recent move into a new facility with advanced production, R&D and testing infrastructure — the merger strengthens our ability to deliver a robust and versatile product portfolio.”
“By combining forces, we will deliver strong, versatile product portfolio and   integrated solutions with greater   operational impact and value to our   customers,” UVision CEO Dr Gozali added.
