PEGASUS has an altitude of more than 15,000m and a distance of more than 11,000 km, allowing for a long patrol mission outside of most ground -based air defense systems. In addition, it is integrated into NATO’s joint information architecture and increases the efficiency of other power from fighters to drones.
