Tel Aviv: UVision Air, a advanced loitering systems manufacturing company has unveiled 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.
According to the company, the COS is designed for full interoperability, and 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 defences, another performs ISR and real-time target acquisition, and a third executes a coordinated precision strike. This mission-centric distribution ensures real-time adaptability to evolving threats, delivering both terrain dominance and operational superiority.
The COS performs continuous optimisation based on target profile, terrain, and platform availability, maximising effect while minimising 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.
The company says that 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 said that the 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,” Dr Gozali added.
