Pelican Products

Pelican Products is the global leader in high-performance protective casing solutions, providing both custom-engineered and ready-to-deploy products for UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) and unmanned systems operators and manufacturers.

Backed by over five decades of manufacturing expertise, Pelican engineers cases using advanced materials that deliver exceptional durability and structural strength in demanding environments. Interior and exterior configurations can be fully customized to meet precise operational requirements.

Custom-Engineered Protective Case Solutions

Pelican develops protective case solutions from the ground up for any drone platform, ground control station, payload, or auxiliary equipment. Working closely with clients, Pelican engineers custom cases that meet precise operational requirements — regardless of weather, environment, or handling conditions.

With a portfolio of thousands of base products, Pelican offers both injection-molded and roto-molded case options that can be configured with features such as specialized latches, purge valves, skid runners, wheels, and more.

Case exteriors can be produced in a variety of colors and customized with branding, logos, and labeling to meet program or organizational requirements.

Case interiors can also be thoroughly customized, beginning with selection from a wide range of foam types that can all be precision-routed to your precise specifications. Options include:

• Polyethylene Foam – strong and water-resistant with excellent vibration dampening and insulation properties
• Polyurethane Foam – softer open-cell foam, ideal for sensitive equipment such as drone cameras and gimbal payloads
• Anti-Static Polyethylene/Polyurethane – protects sensitive electronics against electrostatic buildup

With advanced in-house testing capabilities, Pelican can evaluate case performance across a wide range of conditions. In addition to standard quality testing, cases can be validated to specific standards, applications, and operational requirements before leaving the facility, including:

• MIL-STD-810
• ATA Spec 300
• ASTM Standards
• DEF STAN 81-41
• STANAG 4280
• IP67
