General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, is pleased to announce its new category of future-forward unmanned aircraft systems, focused on information dominance and airspace supremacy. Leveraging three decades of experience across millions of successful combat flight hours, the new Evolution line of advanced UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS joins General Atomics existing Predator-class and Mojave-class aircraft in delivering next-generation UNMANNED SYSTEMS that lead the pack in advanced, affordable, attritable and autonomous combat power. The name Evolution refers to the evolutionary path General Atomics has followed as it chartered the realm of unmanned aircraft through its rich, 30-year history of UNMANNED SYSTEMS innovation, designing for the future, and the force-multiplying power UNMANNED AIRCRAFT provide modern warfighters. In the past three decades, General Atomics has launched more than 25 UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS variants, beginning with the Gnat in 1992. “We’re continuing to grow and respond to the rapidly changing world,” said General Atomics President David R. Alexander. “As we celebrate our 30-year anniversary as a company, our new Evolution-series aircraft will merge our unique heritage of advanced and affordable UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS technologies with innovative technologies for the future. We’re looking ahead to new concepts and never-before-seen aircraft that meet the needs of our customers today and tomorrow.” “General Atomics has led the way in integrating UNMANNED SYSTEMS into every aspect of military operations. Now we’re once again pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with unmanned aircraft, software, mission systems integration and more. Unmanned aircraft will usher in a new era, where UAV work collaboratively with manned aircraft to detect, identify and target adversaries at range and scale across the battlespace. We’re designing systems to meet future requirements, to include working collaboratively and autonomously. Gambit is part of a broader Family of Systems strategy that began with Predator and Reaper, and continues in support of USAF’s future force design concepts” said General Atomics President David R. Alexander,” General Atomics Aeronautical provides long-endurance, mission-capable aircraft with integrated sensor and data link systems required to deliver persistent flight that enables situational awareness and rapid strike. The company also produces a variety of ground control stations and sensor control/image analysis software, offers pilot training and support services. Evolution establishes a third aircraft class within General Atomics, joining the well-known Predator line and recently announced Mojave line of expeditionary UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS featuring short-takeoff and landing (STOL) capability. Evolution includes the development of General Atomics’s next-generation UNMANNED AIRCRAFT solutions designed to meet the needs of the U.S. Air Force’s vision for its future force.
