Sure! Here’s the translation into American English:
In the realm of military technology, a new unmanned aerial vehicle system has emerged: the Precision Exportable Launched Effect (PELE). Inspired by Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of the natural forces of the Pacific, this innovative aircraft has been designed to enhance mission detection capabilities through a semi-autonomous platform, boasting a wingspan of over 3,000 meters and a 16-horsepower engine.
The PELE stands out for its robustness and adaptability, integrating seamlessly with the MQ-9B SkyGuardian®, a high-endurance, multi-capable unmanned aerial vehicle. This drone has attracted attention from various nations around the globe, highlighting its strategic relevance in contemporary military operations.
Equipped with an electro-optical infrared sensor, the PELE enables real-time video recording and has internal space for additional payloads. According to David R. Alexander, president of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), this system provides increased versatility to MQ-9B fleets, allowing air forces to deploy the aircraft in both surveillance missions and high-risk situations, where it could release the PELE for reconnaissance or terrain assessments.
With a length of nearly 3 meters and a maximum gross weight of 113 kilograms, the PELE has a flight endurance of up to 7 hours and a range of 500 nautical miles. This makes it an invaluable tool for missions requiring agility and precision, such as scouting disputed areas or detecting anti-aircraft systems.
GA-ASI, the manufacturer behind the PELE, has established its reputation as the leading provider of unmanned aerial systems, with over 8 million flight hours logged across its various platforms. The company continues to focus on delivering long-endurance solutions that ensure persistent situational awareness, a critical feature in high-complexity scenarios.
