The Penguin C Mk2 is designed to be modular, and can be adapted to meet multiple mission needs with a wide variety of payloads. The system works out of the box with standard and customized payload packages including our Octopus line of gimbals. Our engineers are well-versed in mission-driven modifications, and can further customize the platform to integrate any package our customers designate.
A crew of two can operate the Penguin C Mk2 and all the necessary equipment, including the pneumatic launcher. The whole system is packed in several ruggedized containers and weighs up to 265 kg (585 lb), all of which can be transported in a single minivan, pickup, or helicopter and assembled in under an hour.
