General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) conducted its first flight test series of the Gray Eagle Extended Range (GE-ER) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) using a Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) satellite constellation for aircraft communications. Contracted by the U.S. Army, the flight tests began in January 2025 and mark a significant milestone, making GE-ER the first U.S. Army aircraft to be controlled over the new satellite service.

General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) today introduced PERSES™, the new name for the company’s commercial waste destruction system formerly known as the iSCWO (industrial Supercritical Water Oxidation) system. PERSES builds on GA-EMS’ decades of experience utilizing its proven iSCWO technology to effectively destroy PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl) and more than 200 hazardous and non-hazardous waste medias with 99.99% and greater efficiency.  

General Atomics Systems Integration (GA-SI) and Radian Aerospace (“Radian”) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to advance next-generation aerospace technologies and explore broader strategic collaboration, including localization opportunities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) achieved another major milestone in the development of Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs) by flying U.S. government-provided autonomy software aboard a company-owned MQ-20 Avenger®. The demonstration was part of the Air Force Test Center’s all-domain test series called Orange Flag 25-1, which took place February 19-21 at Edwards Air Force Base, California.
