MQ-9B SkyGuardian and SeaGuardian

MQ-9B SkyGuardian and SeaGuardian

Overview

The export franchise and the successor to the Reaper: a long-endurance remotely piloted aircraft certified to fly in civil airspace, with SeaGuardian adding maritime surveillance and anti-submarine warfare payloads. Under contract with Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, India, Japan, Poland, Taiwan, the UK and US SOCOM, it is what turns GA-ASI from a US program house into a global one. Weapons integration is continuous, most recently Paveway IV and Brimstone 3 qualification on the RAF's Protector RG Mk1 and Kongsberg Joint Strike Missile work.

In production and delivery across ten national customers.
