Currently undergoing development at Rheinmetall, WABEP (which stands for "Wirksystem zur abstandsfahigen Bekampfung von Einzel- und Punktzielen" or "Weapons system for standoff engagement of individual and point targets") consists of a Rheinmetall-made KZO unmanned reconnaissance air vehicle and a "Harop" attack drone from IAI. The KZO, whose German initials are short for "small air vehicle for target location", is packed with high-performance sensors, enabling it to detect and identify targets; the Harop attack drone is responsible for precision engagement of the assigned target, destroying itself in the process.

the real issue is the sale off harop to Germany and modify the control station to fit German hardware
in the iaf we use more serious assets to spot targets for harop like Hermes 900 and heron-tp
but to each his own maybe they have more tactical missions in mind for harop

two of my best friends are working on this project
they say the germen army is in real bad shape
