Czech Republic. South Moravian Region. Brno. The International Defence and Security Technologies (IDET 2021) fair is an important defence and security technology show. The IAI Harop is a loitering munition developed by the MBT division of Israel Aerospace Industries. The unmanned combat aerial vehicle is also known as the Harop loitering munitions missile. This SEAD-optimised loitering munition is designed to loiter the battlefield and attack targets by self-destructing into them. Rather than holding a separate high-explosive warhead, the drone itself is the main munition. It is an anti-radiation drone that can autonomously home in on radio emissions. The drone can either operate fully autonomously, using its anti-radar homing system, or it can take a human-in-the-loop mode. If a target is not engaged, the drone will return and land itself back at base. It has been designed to minimize its radar-signature through stealth (low-observability). 6.10.21 © 2021 Didier Ruef
