Title:

Prototype Development of a long range Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems

Agreement Number:

938038

Agreement Value:

$64,000.00

Agreement Date:

Nov 1, 2019 - Mar 31, 2020

Description:

Following extensive in-field testing and commercial traction with early adopters in 2019, Pegasus is translating this data into the design of a new long range Remotely Piloted Aircraft System. This new design, the "Hyperion", will bridge the capability gap in capability between defense and consumer-grade drone technology. Designed to integrate active Detect And Avoid technology, Hyperion will be able to carry up to 44lbs of payload with an endurance of up to 16 hours within an operational radius of 800km. Advanced communications equipment onboard will ensure secure telemetry and data link connectivity and also enable the system to function as an airborne RF repeater for ground personnel radio and data communications.
