The IAI Harpy NG or IAI Harpy New Generation is a Loitering munition produced by the Israel Aerospace Industries. It is an anti-radiation drone and loitering weapon and is optimized for the SEAD operations. It has high explosive warhead and is a "fire and forget" autonomous weapon. [1]

It can operate in all-weather day/night and it can be launched from a ground vehicle. It has 9 hours airborne time. [2] Harpy improved in several ways from its predecessor, particularly in loiter time, range, altitude, maintenance and training. [3] Also, it improved RF spectrum from 2–18 to 0.8–18 GHz. [4]

A loitering munition is an aerial weapon system category in which the munition loiters around the target area for some time and attacks only once a target is located. Loitering munitions enable faster reaction times against concealed or hidden targets that emerge for short periods without placing high-value platforms close to the target area, and also allow more selective targeting as the attack can easily be aborted.
