Platform Capabilities

Peregrine I integrates vertical launch, high-speed pursuit and autonomous terminal guidance into a compact all-electric aircraft platform.

01

Compound Guidance

Ground-based target cueing supports midcourse guidance, while onboard electro-optical sensing and AI recognition close the terminal guidance loop.

02

Rapid Deployment

All-electric vertical takeoff removes the need for a dedicated runway and enables deployment in constrained or rapidly changing operating environments.

03

High-Speed Maneuvering

The tail-sitter transition layout combines stable hover with efficient fixed-wing acceleration for rapid target approach and interception.

Guidance Architecture

A coordinated sensing and autonomy chain supports the full mission sequence.

01 Target cueing

Ground detection equipment provides target information and launch guidance.

02 Midcourse guidance

The aircraft transitions to forward flight and closes distance at high speed.

03 Terminal acquisition

Visible-light or infrared gimbals support onboard recognition and autonomous tracking.

04 Autonomous engagement

The terminal flight phase is completed through onboard autonomous guidance.
