Pelican-Hardigg Showcases Innovative Solutions at AUSA 2026

Pelican Products, Inc., a leader in protective solutions for critical equipment, is preparing to exhibit its latest offerings at the renowned AUSA 2026 event in Washington, D.C. With a focus on advanced case solutions, Pelican-Hardigg Technical Solutions, a branch specialized in custom engineering, is set to highlight its capabilities that cater to the military sector.

In recent years, Pelican-Hardigg has achieved significant milestones, delivering over one million cases specifically for unmanned aerial systems (UAS), responding to a growing demand in defense. The company is also expanding its global manufacturing operations to better serve its clients, ensuring they meet the intricate requirements of modern warfare.

At AUSA 2026, attendees will witness the unveiling of a fully integrated drone-defense system—specifically, the Bullfrog M2 from Allen Control Systems. This system will be presented within a state-of-the-art Pelican-Hardigg deployment case featuring a metal-reinforced interior, showcasing the level of customization achieved through Pelican’s engineering prowess.

Additionally, Pelican will introduce the ultra-lightweight Pelican™ 1726 Air case, designed to protect tactical equipment while enhancing transportation efficiency. This case reflects the company's commitment to not only offer protection but also optimize logistics, adhering closely to military specifications such as the 463L pallet dimensions, ensuring smooth loading and deployment.

JC Curleigh, CEO of Pelican Products, emphasized the company's dedication to excellence: “As the global leader in protective packaging solutions, Pelican-Hardigg continues to set the standard for mission-critical options with our proven scale, selection, and service. We aim to be a solution provider for the defense sector with our 'Built to Protect… to Equip for the Mission' ethos.”

Modern defense logistics requires protective systems that are as dynamic and capable as the technologies they safeguard. Pelican's commitment to this standard is evident in its products, which include everything from customized drone cases to the lightweight 1726 Air case. Shawn LaRowe, Pelican’s Chief Product Marketing Officer, noted, “Protective systems need to evolve just as quickly as the military hardware they shield.”

Supporting its efforts, Pelican-Hardigg boasts a robust presence with 27 offices and 10 manufacturing sites across North America, Europe, and Australia.
