PENV VTOL UAV on a tactical ISR mission

PENV-250 / PENV-350

Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) VTOL

The HADES PENV-250 and PENV-350 are compact VTOL ISR UAVs designed for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions in environments where rapid deployment and operational flexibility are essential. By combining the endurance of a fixed-wing aircraft with vertical take-off and landing capability, the platforms offer persistent aerial observation without the need for runways or launch infrastructure.
This enables deployment from Gated locations, Forward Operating Bases and temporary missile sites, maintaining long-term on-site surveillance capacity.

PENV VTOL UAV for tactical ISR missions

Designed for tactical ISR operations, border surveillance, force protection, and critical infrastructure security, the PENV-250 and PENV-350 provide real-time situational awareness through a range of configurable payload options, including electro-optical, thermal, and communications systems. Autonomous flight capabilities and seamless integration with HDS FUSION enable rapid intelligence gathering and distribution across operational networks. The PENV-350 further offers greater payload and endurance margins over the PENV-250, allowing users to scale to mission needs within a single family.

Deployment & Operations

The lightweight and portable design allows for rapid deployment by small teams and supports operations in both civil and military environments. The PENV family can function as a standalone ISR asset or as part of a broader multi-sensor surveillance architecture, providing persistent aerial coverage and enhanced situational awareness for tactical decision-makers.
