EDGE Autonomy provides militaries around the world with long-endurance, long-range, mobile unmanned aircraft system solutions for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
The aircraft systems are non-ITAR restricted, giving our global customers easy access to their capabilities.
UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE
The Penguin C MIL small tactical unmanned aircraft is an excellent choice for cost-effective ISR missions.
This aircraft is optimized for gyro-stabilized day and night payloads with under 2 kg (4.5 lb) weight, the endurance of up to 20 hours, and radio link range of 100 km. The aircraft MTOW is 23 kg (50.7 lb).
UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE
The Penguin C Mk2 MIL UAS unmanned aircraft can carry larger payloads, has longer endurance, and longer radio link range.
The Mk2 is optimized for gyro-stabilized day and night payloads up to 4 kg (9 lb) in weight. The aircraft has customized payload integration with quickly swappable nose concept.
The Penguin C Mk2 MIL UAS has the endurance of up to 25 hours and the radio link range of 180 km. The aircraft MTOW is 24.9 kg (54.9 lb) in Group 2 configuration and 28 kg (61.7 lb) in Group 3 configuration.
UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE
Penguin C VTOL MIL UAS small unmanned aircraft has vertical takeoff and landing capability and possesses extreme endurance for this class of aircraft. The aircraft is optimized for gyro-stabilized day and night payloads up to 4 kg (9 lb) weight.
Penguin C VTOL MIL UAS incorporates a Patent Pending design allowing for much greater endurances than any VTOL system on the market today.
Penguin C VTOL MIL UAS version has a simple customized payload integration with quickly swappable nose concept and integrated parachute system. The endurance of the system is 14+ hours and the radio link range is 180 km. The aircraft MTOW is 28 kg (61.7 lb).
VXE30
Edge Autonomy proudly presents the VXE30 Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) solution. The VXE30 is a portable, quiet SUAS that provides unprecedented long-endurance imaging capability in a wide range of environments. Network-based avionics support multiple payloads simultaneously, rapid payload integration, and allow for communication flexibility. The system provides accurate, georeferenced imagery products in a variety of formats. The vehicle performs fully autonomous Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL), with no operator input required. The VXE30 uses a solid oxide fuel cell, which provides 8+ hours of endurance, OR a rechargeable battery with 4 hours of endurance. The system is field swappable in under 30 minutes. The VXE30 is a rugged, durable, lightweight Group 2 UAS that is ready to fly out of the box.

TESTIMONIALS
For perspective Shadow UAS (approx. 9-hour flight endurance) requires 3-4 aircraft in order to conduct 24-hour surveillance on a location. Penguin C could conduct the same mission with 2 aircraft.

EDGE Autonomy Penguin C Group 2 UAS Technology Assessment, Maneuver Battle Lab Report
The movement tracking ability of the Penguin C far surpasses the current payload abilities of the Shadow. The picture quality is clear and the stability option is very helpful in keeping a steady picture. It’s very easy to identify individuals and equipment using the Penguin C payload.

Insights Day briefing by Maneuver Battle Lab
Penguin C has the best loiter time for a Group 2 UAS. It has the ability to conduct 24-hour ops with only 2 aircraft.
It is about a 1/8th the weight of the shadow and has a much smaller footprint than Shadow. You can fit the entire Penguin C system in one truck and one trailer compared to the approximately 8 trucks and 5 trailers the Shadow system requires.

EDGE Autonomy Penguin C Group 2 UAS Technology Assessment, Maneuver Battle Lab Report
Penguin C is capable of operating in a similar capacity as another group 3 UAS such as the Shadow UAS, but with approximately 6 more hours of flight endurance, reducing the number of aircraft required to complete a mission, saving ground crews significant amount of time every day in both maintenance and preflight and landings.

The picture quality and stability feature that the Penguin C payload uses made identifying individuals and equipment easy compared to trying to identify them with any payload the Shadow currently uses.

EDGE Autonomy Penguin C Group 2 UAS Technology Assessment, Maneuver Battle Lab Report
Being integrated into NET Warrior made it easy to pass information directly to the ground forces. We were able to push video feed directly to the ground forces and had the ability to mark enemy positions on the NET Warrior map using grid coordinates taken from the Penguin C’s payload.

EDGE Autonomy Penguin C Group 2 UAS Technology Assessment, Maneuver Battle Lab Report
As long as there is a decent amount of open area the Penguin C can land safely. It was impressive to see the Penguin C land with the little open area it had here. There are trees everywhere and it was able to conduct good landings many times. When it didn’t have a good landing, it was very simple and quick to replace/fix a damaged part.
