We remember a time when you couldn't give a UAV away. Now an evolving global security environment, combined with cheap access to new technology, has created a worldwide market for UAVs of all sizes, styles, and significance. Learn more at UAV.COM

A new era of challenges is dawning at the top of the world. Two significant factors are reshaping the Arctic, contributing to increases in commercial traffic, illegal fishing operations, competition over natural resources, and militarization. Read here: https://ow.ly/TBHk50T1WA1

As global militaries look to small UAS platforms to provide new levels of capability, the value of additive manufacturing is highlighted through its rapid prototyping capabilities as well as on the production line. Learn more: ow.ly/Shag50SPGFS

Having established the clear appeal of the CCA concept, the United States now faces the choice about which specific aircraft to build. Fortunately, that also has a clear answer, one that brings agility and pedigree: General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. GA-ASI is the world leader in unmanned aviation; its Predator, Reaper, Gray Eagle and Avenger aircraft have recorded more than eight million flight hours over more than 30 years. They are the most operationally available aircraft in today’s military and they have rewritten the practices of intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and much more.

NATO allies will be able to incorporate their own payloads aboard MQ-9s using common pods for sensing or comms equipment they contain. This means they can rapidly and economically deploy, adjust and re-deploy new capabilities with ease. Learn more: https://ow.ly/ylvU50SR4Uj

The Arctic holds an estimated 30% of the world's undiscovered natural gas as well as growing fisheries in territorial & international waters that both commercial & illegal operations will aim to exploit. Read how Arctic-ready UAVs can monitor activity: https://ow.ly/qJsP50SR4MX

Additive manufacturing is a process in which engineers take a three-dimensional computer-aided design model and virtually slice it into thousands of layers. This is sent to a printer, in which material is added one layer at a time to create a three-dimensional object. Learn how General Atomics leverages this technique to manufacture UAS: https://ow.ly/Shag50SPGFS

Did you know that General Atomics is a world leader in autonomy? This encompasses the software and aircraft integration that lets a collaborative combat aircraft do things on its own that once would have required control by a human pilot. Learn more: https://ow.ly/4Vco50SJiAg
