Allen - Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

The Allen UAV is a long-endurance, long-range unmanned aircraft system designed for ISR missions. Its endurance of 16 to 20 h (payload dependent) and a line-of-sight range of over 100 km or 62 miles makes it an extremely capable unmanned platform that meets a variety of mission needs.

KEY FEATURES

  • Highest system reliability
  • Operational in GPS-denied environment
  • MISB compliant video stream
  • Over 7000 hours of test flights
  • Operational and maintenance training

CLASS LEADING MOBILITY

A crew of two can operate the Allen UAV and all the necessary equipment, including the pneumatic launcher. The whole system, packed in several ruggedized containers, weighs up to 265 kg (585 lb), can be transported in a single minivan, pickup, or helicopter and assembled in under an hour.

The use of a sophisticated parachute/airbag recovery system eliminates the need for bulky equipment such as a landing net or landing wire and provides a very soft landing, thus reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft or payload in case of both planned and emergency landings.

In addition, Allen UAV uses a proprietary algorithm that estimates the parachute landing point based on a number of flight conditions and allows for controlled aircraft recovery in a small designated area.

23 KG

Maximum take-off weight

The Penguin C MIL UAS falls under the 55-pound FAA regulatory requirements for small UAVs. The aircraft is non-ITAR restricted, giving our global customers easy access to its capabilities.

7000 HOURS

Flight tested

Allen Defence flight operations team has flight-tested the Penguin C MIL UAS for over 7000 hours to ensure its reliability and robustness in normal to severe weather conditions. 

HIGHLY EFFICIENT EFI ENGINE

Thanks to the Allen Defence’s own state-of-the-art electronic fuel injected (EFI) engine, Allen UAV flight endurance is up to 20 hours. The cooling system provides the ability to operate from below freezing point to extremely hot conditions. Before delivery, each engine is tested extensively in Allen Defence engine testing cell to maximize its reliability and efficiency.

The EFI engine comes built into a swappable propulsion module than can be changed in minutes, allowing for uninterrupted operation of the aircraft system while maintenance could be performed on a second module.
