Our systems are designed to be modular, and the Penguin Mk2.5 VTOL can be adapted to meet a variety of mission needs with a wide range of payload options.

Because our solutions are mission-driven, our engineers work closely with customers to customize and integrate components to meet each unique need.
A crew of two can operate the Penguin Mk2.5 VTOL and all the necessary equipment, and the whole system can be packed in several ruggedized containers to be transported in a single minivan, pickup, or helicopter and assembled in under an hour.
When equipped with advanced EO/IR payloads, the Penguin Mk2.5 VTOL is well-equipped to perform observation, inspection, and surveillance tasks such as day and nighttime object tracking and small moving target indication.
