This video from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) provides an overview of the capabilities of its Precision Exportable Launched Effect (PELE), delivering precise and effective performance on the battlefield.

Inspired by Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of powerful natural forces, PELE is a semi-autonomous, multi-mission platform designed to carry diverse mission payloads. Whether launched from the wings of a medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS such as the MQ-9B, or deployed via a ground-based launch system, PELE can deliver a variety of powerful battlefield effects.

Developed for the global aerospace and defense market, PELE serves as a highly versatile and cost-effective force multiplier.
