Edge Autonomy’s non-ITAR autonomous UAS (unmanned aerial systems) are highly modular and can be easily adapted to a range of military, civilian and commercial requirements.
Equipped with state-of-the-art EO/IR gimbals, the versatile long-endurance fixed-wing UAVs are ideal for a wide variety of applications, including ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance), search and rescue, border patrol, and inspection and monitoring.
Available systems include:
VXE30 VTOL – Group 2 / NATO Class I proven VTOL ISR platform with 8+ hours flight endurance
Penguin C MK 2 – Group 2 / Group 3 / NATO Class I catapult-launched fixed-wing UAS with 20+ hours flight endurance
Penguin C MK 2.5 VTOL – Group 3 / NATO Class I hybrid VTOL fixed-wing drone with 12+ hours flight endurance
Edge Autonomy’s Octopus ISR Systems division develops advanced optronic surveillance payloads for UAVs and unmanned systems. The non-ITAR UAV camera gimbals are engineered with a low SWaP (size, weight and power) profile and are fully ruggedized to withstand the rigors of the harshest operating environments.
Octopus ISR Systems offers exceptional target detection capabilities with up to 30x optical zoom at Full HD quality, and up to 90x optical zoom at SD quality for even closer views.
All EO/IR gimbals feature built-in high-performance video processing, enabling a range of useful features including target tracking, video stabilization, roll correction, and digital zoom.
Edge Autonomy’s highly reliable rugged power solutions are designed for longevity and durability, and are ideal for powering critical UAV systems.
Unlike other fuel cells on the market, the proprietary microtubular design offers built-in redundancy, ensuring that your system will continue to produce the power you need, no matter what challenges you face.
