Variants
CutlassThis variant of the Harpy was evaluated in 1999 with Raytheon for search-and-destroy missions and the ability to attack a wider range of targets. It would have been a sea-launched weapon employing advanced sensors from Raytheon[1]
Harop/Harpy 2This is a larger, upgraded variant. Designed as a fire-and-forget weapon, the Harop can fly more than 600 mi (1,000 km) to patrol a specific area and attack any hostile radars detected.[1]
Harpy NG (new generation)This is an upgraded variant that uses the Harop airframe. It was developed to counter newer air defense radar threats.[1]
Mini-HarpyThis tactical loitering munition combines the operating characteristics of the Harpy and Harop. It can lock onto radar and other emitting threats via person-in-the-loop electro-optical guidance. Fully autonomous operation is available as an option.[1]
Maritime HaropThis is a variant of the Harop optimized for operation from naval vessels, from patrol ships to frigates. It features a maritime-configured launcher and modified communications.[1]
ASN-301This is a Chinese copy of the Harpy. It has a delta wing and pusher propeller configuration that appears virtually identical to the Israeli system. According to the China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Corp.[1]
Summary

The ASN-301 UAV seems to be a near-copy of the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Harpy system that was purchased by China in the 1990s, according to foreign sources. The ASN-301uav is a delta-wing aircraft with a pusher propeller that looks virtually identical to the Harpy.
