General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is proud to be a first-time exhibitor at DIMDEX 2014.
 
GA-ASI delivers situational awareness by providing Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) systems, radar, and electro-optic and related mission systems for military/commercial applications worldwide. The company’s Aircraft Systems business unit is a leading designer and manufacturer of proven, reliable RPA, including the Predator®/Gray® series. It also manufactures a variety of Ground Control Stations (GCS), including the next-generation Advanced Cockpit GCS, and provides pilot training and support services for RPA field operations. Mission Systems designs, manufactures, and integrates the Lynx® Multi-mode Radar and Claw® sensor control and image analysis software into both manned and remotely piloted aircraft. It also focuses on providing integrated sensor payloads and software for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft platforms and develops high energy lasers, electro-optic sensors, and meta-material antennas. GA-ASI is dedicated to providing long-endurance, mission-capable aircraft with the integrated sensor and data link systems required to deliver persistent situational awareness and rapid strike capabilities.

Please visit us at Stand H-5 93 where we will be showcasing our Predator XP Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) and the Maritime Wide Area Search (MWAS) mode of our Lynx Multi-mode Radar.

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. Predator XP Unmanned Aircraft System
     
Currently in production, the Predator XP UAS exhibits the same physical dimensions, altitude, speed, and long endurance (up to 35 hours) as the original “RQ-1” Predator aircraft first flown by the U.S. Air Force in 1995 and has been updated to include triple redundant avionics and an automatic takeoff and landing capability. Predator XP supports a broad customer export base, including Middle East, North African, and South American regions.

The aircraft system may be equipped with Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) data link systems for over-the-horizon operations. It is integrated with multiple ISR sensors, including state-of-the-art Electro-Optical Infrared (EO/IR) cameras and GA-ASI’s wide-area search Lynx Multi-mode Radar. The Lynx radar features a state-of-the-art Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) mode that offers all-weather, high-resolution, day/night performance for a wide-area search capability. Its Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) mode provides a quick and easy method for locating moving vehicles. The radar’s MWAS mode provides the capability to complete a variety of maritime missions successfully, including coastal surveillance, drug interdiction, long-range surveillance, small target detection, and search and rescue operations. Predator XP also incorporates an Automatic Identification System (AIS) for maritime ship identification. Other new additions from the original Predator include a new fault-tolerant tail design and winglets for increased endurance.

Predator XP features the Claw® integrated sensor payload control and analysis software with moving-map displays, cross-cueing of all onboard sensors, pre-mission planning, and post-mission sensor data analysis and exploitation.

Offering unsurpassed ISR capabilities, Predator XP is available now to support a variety of over land and maritime ISR missions for a wide array of countries.
