Follow UST

Inspired by Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of powerful natural forces in the Pacific, the Precision Exportable Launched Effect (PELE) delivers explosive power and lightning precision in the battlespace.

PELE is a semi-autonomous multi-mission SUAS platform designed to carry diverse mission payloads, including an onboard electro-optical infrared sensor for full-motion video, munitions, and more.

Whether launched from the wings of a medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS, like the MQ-9B, or a ground-based launch system, PELE delivers a variety of powerful effects – from ISR to strike. Built for the global aerospace and defense market, PELE is the ultimate attritable force multiplier.
