General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, usually shortened to GA-ASI, is the unmanned aircraft arm of the privately held General Atomics group and the maker behind the Predator family of remotely piloted aircraft. Its Poway-based business designs and builds medium-altitude long-endurance drones and the radar and sensor payloads they carry, selling them to the United States armed forces and to allied governments. The line began with the Gnat 750 and led to the MQ-1 Predator, the larger turboprop MQ-9 Reaper, the Army MQ-1C Gray Eagle, the jet-powered MQ-20 Avenger and the research aircraft Altus. More recent work includes the Mojave short take-off drone, the XQ-67A demonstrator and the FQ-42 loyal wingman built for the Air Force collaborative combat aircraft program. In this atlas it stands as the make for those aircraft.
