LOITERING MUNITIONS
Loitering munitions are a type of aerial weapon system that can hover over an target for an extended period before striking a target.
Loitering munitions, often referred to as “suicide drones” are a class of aerial weapons designed to loiter in the air for extended periods before striking a target.
These munitions combine the capabilities of drones and traditional missiles, allowing them
to search for, identify, and engage targets autonomously or through operator guidance.

Their ability to hover and wait for the ideal moment to strike makes them highly
effective against time-sensitive or mobile targets. Loitering munitions provide significant tactical advantages, including precision targeting, reduced collateral damage, and the ability to adapt to changing battlefield conditions.

They are increasingly used in modern warfare for roles such as counter-insurgency, anti-armor operations, and the suppression of enemy air defenses. The versatility and effectiveness of loitering munitions have led to their growing adoption by militaries around the world, making them a crucial component of contemporary armed forces’ arsenals.
