Ένα RPA, MQ-9A Block 5 εξοπλισμένο με νέας τεχνολογίας CAB πέταξε στο πλαίσιο της ανάπτυξης νέων δυνατοτήτων DAA για το αναφερόμενο UAS. Η όλη προσπάθεια της GA-ASI εντοπίζεται στην ανάπτυξη ενός νέου δικτύου Ethernet με τους επίγειους σταθμούς ελέγχου για εφαρμογές AI και ML…

[…For the first time on Feb. 3, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) flew a company-owned MQ-9A Block 5 Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) equipped with a newly developed Centerline Avionics Bay (CAB). The CAB provides space to incorporate critical new capabilities for GA-ASI customers. Integration of the CAB began as GA-ASI needed space for new avionics on the MQ-9A, such as company-developed Detect and Avoid (DAA) system. In addition to the DAA system, GA-ASI will use the new avionics bay to pioneer Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) applications and establish an Ethernet network with the outer wing stations to enable government Open Mission Systems (OMS) protocols for rapid, flexible, and affordable integration of new mission capabilities. These upgrades will further expand an already broad menu of roles for the MQ-9A…]
