Charitable Giving

 We have grown our company by providing our customers with an excellent product – well educated, dedicated, quality personnel who thrive on solving difficult problems and consistently exceeding customer expectations. At Pentagon Performance, Inc. (PPI), our employees derive a great deal of satisfaction and enjoyment from applying their knowledge to solving some very challenging problems. PPI encourages our local youth to find the same enjoyment by excelling in school, going on to college and making an impact in their chosen fields

In a commitment to these ideals, PPI donates a percentage of income to charity. Examples of charity giving is our college scholarship program where we offer four $1,000 college scholarships for high school students that reside in the local communities where we have offices.

Scholarships are awarded to high school seniors that meet the following criteria:

  • A United States citizen
  • Acceptance to and/or attendance in a 4-year degree, full-time curriculum at an accredited college or university anywhere in the United States.
  • Not a PPI employee or immediate family member of a PPI employee. (This scholarship program is our gift to the communities that we work and live in so children of PPI employees are not eligible)

Corporate Responsibility

Doing what is right because it is the right thing to do is the foundation of PPI’s business culture. Doing what’s legally and morally right is the only way to run a successful and sustainable business. We will not sacrifice our integrity to achieve business objectives.

The best companies govern themselves to achieve fairness, transparency and accountability – and to balance the needs of the business and all its customers. For PPI, corporate responsibility begins with living our values and having an unwavering commitment to ethics and compliance. Each and every employee is personally responsible for behaving ethically and doing what is right because it is the right thing to do.

These powerful words unite us, and we are proud that they describe the commitment that each PPI employee brings to our relationships and our daily work. Together, our vision and value system is one of the distinctive ways that we provide value for our customers and successfully grow our business.

Universal Cockpit Controls https://wwww.pentagonperformance.net/universal-cockpit/ Mon, 06 Nov 2017 03:46:23 +0000 http://pentagonperformance.net/?page_id=84

Incorporating future Civil Aviation Authority requirements, our cockpit allows the pilot to monitor and display flight sensitive information at the right place and time to ensure mission success. Our custom designed cockpit contains its own environmental control system and allows the pilot to control and display all sensors. The cockpit is constructed with the strongest alloys and contains very few moving parts making it rugged and ready for travel.

 

PPI Universial Cockpit

The ergonometric design minimizes stress and fatigue associated with the long flights typically flown by our UAS planes and incorporates a seat rated to 24 hour operations. Our cockpit can interface with commercial Air Vehicle and the Simulators allowing for zero flight time pilot training.

Our Universal Cockpit is capable of flying any UAS, by any Pilot or Sensor Operator. It comes equip with a hands on throttle and stick (HOTAS), multi-function displays tailored to your needs, is ergonomically designed, and is made from durable construction. For added comfort the cockpit has a 24 hour rated seat with independent environmental controls. For two cockpit deployments, two of our cockpits will fit into 20’ ISO container operations for easy system integration and plug and play implementations.

SureCam https://wwww.pentagonperformance.net/surecam/ Mon, 06 Nov 2017 03:45:06 +0000 http://pentagonperformance.net/?page_id=81

The PPI SureCam was developed from Flight Design’s Composite Technology Law Enforcement (CTLE). As an optionally piloted aircraft, the SureCam provides the flexibility needed for a wide variety of missions.

 

 

Designed for critical missions, the SureCam allows for plug-and-play sensor applications. An auxiliary power supply on-board provides the additional power requirements needed for a wide verity of customs sensors.

For analysis, you can choose each image separately and zoom in on. Each individual image is GPS based with latitude, longitude and altitude. With short field take-off and landing capabilities on hard or soft surfaces, the SureCam has 6 hours of loiter time and low stall speeds making it a perfect choice.
