General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has partnered with Saab to develop an airborne early warning (AEW) mission capability for its MQ-9B family of remotely piloted aircraft.
Announced at the Paris air show on 16 June, the new AEW mission package will be compatible with the carrier-capable MQ-9B short take-off and landing (STOL) variant being developed by GA-ASI, as well as the standard MQ-9B air vehicle. AEW flight demonstrations are planned to start on the MQ-9B next year, with the UK Royal Navy’s (RN’s) Carrier Strike Airborne Early Warning requirement already emerging as a major opportunity.
