Evidence & current status
Status and performance are attributed to the supplier. They do not establish an independently audited fleet size or effectiveness rate.
Role & programme
A canister-launched loitering-munition family offered for land and maritime customers, with an electro-optical sensor and an operator-supervised mission interface.
HAROP sits at the boundary between unmanned aircraft and guided munitions, so it is labelled as a loitering munition throughout this catalogue. IAI describes long-duration loiter and abort functions and has announced export contracts without identifying every customer. It should not be confused with HARPY or Mini HARPY. The cited product page does not publish a complete airframe or propulsion data sheet; missing numerical fields remain unknown.
