General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc (GA-ASI) is a provider of unmanned aerial systems that manufactures remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) systems, radars, and electro-optic and related mission systems including the Predator RPA series and the Lynx multi-mode radar. GA-ASI provides mission-capable aircraft with integrated sensor and data link systems required for persistent flight that provides situational awareness and facilitates rapid strike. The company also produces ground control stations and sensor control/image analysis software, offers pilot training and support services, and develops meta-material antennas. Its radar system development provides detection systems for RPA including the Lynx multi-mode radar and the due regard/air-to-air radar. The Lynx radar has minimal size, weight, and power (SWAP), while it delivers precision air-to-surface targeting accuracy and wide-area search capabilities for ground and maritime missions. The due regard radar (DRR) is a collision avoidance air-to-air radar with the initial engineering development and manufacturing (EDM) model. The company develops multi-mission payload solutions spanning its technology applications such as electronic warfare, signals intelligence, survivability, maritime surveillance, and tactical and strategic communications. GA-ASI provides the essential technology to integrate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the national airspace system (NAS).
