* Introduction - to include the pedigree of
GA-ASI MALE RPAS experience (Ikhana, MQ-9B Transatlantic flight, SIO, flying MQ-9 in Syracuse ANG with no chase aircraft - GBDAA)
GA-ASI named its baseline MQ-9B aircraft SkyGuardian, and the maritime surveillance variant SeaGuardian.
Cobham has been providing technical and maintenance support for the RAF Reaper Ground Control Stations at RAF Waddington since 2015 and were involved in the historic trans-Atlantic flight of
GA-ASI's SkyGuardian, which landed at RAF Fairford in July 2018.
To facilitate the Team's growth,
GA-ASI and Team SkyGuardian will engage industry across all regions of Canada through industry events.
The SkyGuardian took off from
GA-ASI's Flight Test & Training Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
GA-ASI will deliver its Predator[R] B/MQ-9 Reaper[R] Medium Altitude, Long-endurance (MALE) UAS to the Dutch Military.
GA-ASI, a fledgling company only a few short years before, had to adhere to government oversight and standards for airworthiness, production, safety, sustainment, software, and training, all of which are substantially time consuming, expensive, and not part of the original contract for the system.
Since 1998, Mercury has continued to provide its scalable RACE Series and RACE++ Series computing modules and software to enable high-performance signal processing for multiple generations of
GA-ASI's Lynx SAR product line.
The
GA-ASI spokeswoman said that combining the FINDER and the PIRAHNA, which will be installed onboard the Predator, will occur later this year, with demonstrations to be completed in the middle of 2003.
(
GA-ASI) has announced it has selected Abaco Systems's FORCE2 flight computer to be at the heart of
GA-ASI's Certifiable Ground Control Station (CGCS), the company said.
