Uvision Group has announced its complete acquisition of SpearUAV, an Israeli technology company specialising in AI-based loitering systems.
This development represents a strategic move by Uvision to expand its portfolio in delivering comprehensive, multi-layered loitering munitions solutions across various global domains.
SpearUAV’s latest innovations
The acquisition is seen as a catalyst for SpearUAV to further its goal of functioning as a "battalion-level air force," offering continuous support and enhanced operational capabilities.
Central to this ambition is the Viper family of encapsulated AI loitering systems, which enhance reconnaissance, attack, Electronic Warfare (EW), and Counter-UAS capabilities across different operational domains including air, ground, sea, and sub-sea.
Complementary product portfolios
Viper systems are tailored toward lower tactical levels, equipping units operating from ground
The Viper systems complement Uvision’s HERO family of loitering munitions, creating an integrated suite that addresses the growing demands of the global defence market.
While HERO systems operate at higher echelons with precision surveillance and target engagement potential, Viper systems are tailored toward lower tactical levels, equipping units operating from ground, naval, and sub-sea platforms.
Leadership confidence
Dr. Ran Gozali, CEO of Uvision, remarked, “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.”
He further mentioned that Uvision’s expansion, highlighted by a new facility featuring advanced production and R&D infrastructure, will benefit from this merger, which aims to deliver an extensive and versatile product line with enhanced operational impact.
SpearUAV’s team achievements
Yiftach Kleinman, CEO of SpearUAV, commented on the acquisition as an acknowledgment of the team’s achievements. “Since Uvision’s initial strategic investment four years ago, our collaboration has proven very effective and successful."
"This acquisition is first and foremost an achievement of SpearUAV’s team, whose innovation and professionalism, guided by the vision of our founder, Gadi Kuperman, have positioned the company today as a global leader in encapsulated loitering weapon systems.”
Joining under the Uvision group is anticipated to expand SpearUAV’s reach and enhance its ability to deliver value to its international clientele.

Battalion-level air force
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.

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.
