The PGA-C1 Carrier

A dual-use Group 1 fixed-wing UAS with modular 3x 1U payload architecture, 50–75 mile operational radius, and passive ISR sensing — engineered for defense and critical infrastructure missions.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Designed Around the Mission

The PGA-C1 Carrier is a fixed-wing UAS built around a modular payload bay supporting three independent 1U modules — up to 5 lbs total — enabling rapid sensor swaps in the field without airframe changes. With a 50–75 mile operational radius, it bridges defense ISR and critical infrastructure applications from a single airframe.

Where conventional platforms compromise between payload capacity and operational flexibility, the PGA-C1 Carrier delivers both — a zero-emission passive sensing profile with the field-expedient XSTOL performance operators actually need.

Paired with the Pigeon Port Base Station, the PGA-C1 Carrier operates as part of a fully autonomous multi-vehicle system — autonomous charging, mission scheduling, and sortie cycling with zero human intervention between flights.

MISSION CAPABILITIES
MISSION_01
Passive RF Intelligence

Detect, classify, and geolocate RF emitters across a wide frequency range without transmitting. The platform remains electromagnetically silent throughout the collection mission.

MISSION_02
Autonomous Mapping

Autonomous terrain and area mapping with onboard path planning. The PGA-C1 Carrier executes pre-defined mapping sorties without operator input, generating high-resolution geospatial data across the target area.

MISSION_03
Persistent Area Surveillance

Extended loiter over a defined area of interest with continuous stereo camera coverage. Suitable for pattern-of-life analysis and persistent ISR tasking.

MISSION_04
Pigeon Port Base Station

Fully autonomous charging and sortie scheduling via the Pigeon Port Base Station. Multi-vehicle cycling with zero human intervention — the system lands, charges, and relaunches on its own schedule.
