The company is working on conceptual designs for the US Navy’s CCA programme alongside Anduril, Northrop Grumman and Boeing.
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) has confirmed its selection by the US Navy (USN) to support its Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) design effort.
GA-ASI said that its design would emphasise a modular approach that could be rapidly configured to meet changing mission requirements.
In August, Breaking Defence reported that Northrop Grumman, Boeing, GA-ASI and Anduril had been selected to develop conceptual design for a carrier-based uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) for the USN’s CCA programme.
This confirmation makes GA-ASI the third company in the list to confirm their work on a USN CCA design. Anduril confirmed to Shephard in August
