AV Enhances Puma LE with Integrated Laser Target Designator and Universal Gimbal Kit for Precision Targeting and Effortless Multi-Mission FlexibilityAeroVironment, Inc. (“AV”) (NASDAQ: AVAV) today announced the launch of capability enhancements for its Puma™ LE small unmanned aircraft system (SUAS): an integrated Laser Target Designator payload and Universal Gimbal Kit enabling rapid, field-swappable payload configurations. The new Laser Target Designator Kit transforms the Puma LE into a cutting-edge precision targeting platform while the Universal Gimbal Kit further enhances operational flexibility by allowing operators to rapidly integrate a variety of gimballed payloads. With these upgrades, Puma LE evolves beyond intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) to support multi-mission operations—delivering unmatched portability, modular adaptability, and precision targeting in a compact Group 2 UAS platform“With a laser target designator now integrated into the Puma LE, we are delivering a significant tactical advantage,” said Trace Stevenson, president of Autonomous Systems at AV. “We are proud to partner with AV on the integration of our HD59 Laser Designator payload for the Puma LE,” said Matt Carreon, Vice President of Business Development at Trillium Engineering. “This collaboration brings a powerful, lightweight, multi-sensor EO/IR gimbal system to the field, enabling precision laser designation, something previously confined to larger platforms.
