Further tests will be carried out on the existing fleet, ahead of the Royal Air Force’s anticipated transition from MQ-9A Reaper aircraft to the MQ-9B Protector by the end of 2025.
Skyral enables government and industry to develop and adapt synthetic solutions more quickly, efficiently and reliably.
The combined, proven capabilities of Raytheon Missiles & Defense radars safeguard security.
