Elbit Systems introduces LANIUS: drone-based loitering munition

Elbit Systems, an Israel-based international defense electronics company primarily engaged in the defense and homeland security, recently introduced a new drone-based loitering munition named LANIUS.

Part of the Legion-X robotic and autonomous combat solution, LANIUS is a highly maneuverable and versatile drone-based loitering munition designed for short-range operation in the urban environment.

The system can autonomously scout and map buildings and points of interest for possible threats, detecting, classifying and syncing to Elbit Systems’ Legion-X solutions. LANIUS can carry lethal or non-lethal payloads, capable of performing a broad spectrum of mission profiles for special forces, military, law enforcement, and HLS.
