Lanius (274c26ef-a26b-554f-b3ec-3654b416aab3)

Lanius is a tactical loitering‑munitions system developed by Elbit Systems for the Israeli Defense Forces. Marketed as a compact, short‑range UAV, it combines intelligence‑, surveillance‑ and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities with a precision‑strike function, allowing operators to identify and engage time‑sensitive targets without exposing crewed aircraft. Designed for rapid deployment from ground or vehicle platforms, Lanius can loiter over an area of interest and, when a target is confirmed, execute a controlled impact to deliver its payload. The system is currently fielded by Israel and reflects Elbit’s emphasis on lightweight, cost‑effective solutions for modern battlefield environments.
