MQ-9B SeaGuardian

MQ-9B SeaGuardian from USA, produced by General Atomics

Introduce:

MQ-9B SeaGuardian^® is the maritime-focused sibling of the revolutionary SkyGuardian^® remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) that has been missionized using “bolt-on/bolt-off” maritime sensors. SeaGuardian is designed to fly over the horizon via satellite for over 30 hours (depending on configuration) in all types of weather and safely integrate into civil airspace, enabling joint forces and civil authorities to deliver real-time situational awareness anywhere in the maritime domain—day or night. This highly versatile maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft can seamlessly integrate a centerline wide-area maritime radar, an automatic identification system, electronic support measures, and a self-contained anti-submarine warfare (ASW) mission kit. SeaGuardian not only integrates the most advanced maritime intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, but it is also the first RPAS in its class to enable real-time search and patrol above and below the ocean’s surface.
