GA-ASI is highlighting the power and performance of a new era of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) at UMEX 2024 (Stand 04-A11) taking place in Abu Dhabi from 23-25 January.

From border security and search and rescue to ASW and missile defense, GA-ASI’s MQ-9B SeaGuardian® and SkyGuardian® aircraft are ready now to support the regional needs of the Middle East today.

Based on the widely proven MQ-9A Reaper, these next-generation aircraft have an endurance span of more than 30 hours, depending on the configuration, to deliver persistent ISR in a class of their own. They cover more distance, carry more payloads, and handle more missions to keep the world more secure.

Multi-mission and multi-domain, SeaGuardian and SkyGuardian can nimbly flex from requirement to requirement within a single deployment, conducting surveillance over land and coastal waters, open water, and even under the water with ease, enabling situational awareness from virtually anywhere and under virtually any conditions.

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), an affiliate of General Atomics, is a leading designer and manufacturer of proven, reliable RPA systems, radars, and electro-optic and related mission systems, including the Predator® RPA series and the Lynx® Multi-mode Radar.

With more than eight million flight hours, GA-ASI provides long-endurance, mission-capable aircraft with integrated sensor and data link systems required to deliver persistent situational awareness. The company also produces a variety of sensor control/image analysis software, offers pilot training and support services, and develops meta-material antennas.
