OVERVIEW
Combining the characteristics of a UAV and a missile, HARPY can be launched without prior intelligence on the target’s location, providing unmatched flexibility to operators. As a loitering munition system dedicated to the suppression and destruction of enemy air defences (SEAD/DEAD), HARPY serves as a strategic tool for armed forces planning strikes against anti-access/area denial (A2AD) defensive systems, showcasing IAI’s innovation in loitering munitions for precision and adaptability in evolving combat scenarios.
HIGHLIGHTS
- The world’s first and most operational Anti-Radiation Loitering Munition system
- Fully Autonomous
- Effective in SEAD and DEAD missions
- Land / Naval Based
- Operational with several Air Forces
Values & Benefits
HARPY is launched from Ground-Based or Naval Canisters and covers long ranges, creating a safe corridor inside enemy airspace.
Equipped with an Anti-Radiation (AR) seeker, HARPY can autonomously seek and strike emitting, high-value targets, locating and identifying frequencies, and pursuing strikes from any direction with shallow or steep dive profiles.
HARPY operates in deep strike missions lasting up to 9 hours, day or night, in all weather conditions, and even in GNSS-denied or contested battlefields.
Harpy exemplifies IAI’s commitment to innovative loitering munitions, delivering solutions designed for precision, adaptability, and effectiveness in modern combat scenarios.
