The US Army is expected to receive new Penguin UAVs. During a press release held on June 27th, the company Edge Autonomy (previously known as UAV Factory) announced that it will produce and deliver its Penguin UAVs to the US Army. The number of UAVs or the duration of this agreement were not disclosed, however, reports say that this deal is most likely to include both Penguin B and Penguin C. 

Penguin B is a high-performance semi-integrated small UAV platform, while penguin c is a cost-effective and small unmanned aircraft. Both will be, most likely, used for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) missions.
