GA-ASI has an experience in developing and delivering the most cost-effective and forward-looking UAS solutions.
8 November 2021: GA-ASI has received a USD 17.8 million award from Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) to design and develop an unmanned Off-Board Sensing Station (OBSS) aircraft. AFRL is developing an open architecture concept Autonomous Collaborative Platform (ACP) to achieve its goals of rapid time-to-market and low acquisition cost, while extending and enhancing the sensing volume of manned platforms.
Chris Seat, senior vice president of Special Programs for GA-ASI said, “We’re excited to continue working on this project with AFRL. Our experience in developing and delivering the most cost-effective and forward-looking UAS solutions puts GA-ASI in a great position to deliver the right ACP to meet our customer’s requirements.”
The award covers the next 12 months as the base effort, and if the option is exercised, GA-ASI will spend the following 15 months manufacturing and flight demonstrating the aircraft with the award potentially growing to a total of USD 49 million.
