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.
