The PEREGRINE Drone Experiments
Small aircraft experimentation and recovery dossier for the UAV Division, covering the PEREGRINE series and its evolution into the SCADUBIRD registry. Perry 1 / PEREGRINE-A01 is the DJI Mini 4K awning recovery and troubleshooting bird, grounded pending inspection. Perry 2 / PEREGRINE-A02 is the DJI Mini 3 lost after a 3 AM roof incident. A03 through A05 each passed through custody without entering service: A03 returned to Amazon defective, A04 flipped on Facebook Marketplace, and A05 returned to Best Buy under chargeback. A05 is also SCADUBIRD-SB001, the designation hinge where PEREGRINE becomes SCADUBIRD. The division currently holds ground and optics equipment but no airworthy aircraft. The DJI Air 3S is the target instrument. The archive preserves flight logs, crash reports, maintenance notes, recovery routes, error codes, safety calls, acquisition and disposition events, and uncertain details as evidence.
