MQ-9B STOL

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

Introduce:

GA-ASI’s MQ-9B SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian® remotely piloted aircraft systems will cover more area with less runway using the groundbreaking MQ-9B Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) mission kit. MQ-9B STOL integrates a wing and tail kit inspired by the smaller Mojave, enabling the larger and higher performance MQ-9B to operate from more expeditionary bases or big-deck amphibious vessels. This means MQ-9B STOL will stay where it is needed longer and will virtually always be ready for tasking, whether deployed over ground or naval forces. Utilizing the most advanced multi-domain surveillance and podded technologies available, MQ-9B STOL provides a short-field advantage without sacrificing the platform’s ability to conduct complex, long-endurance operations. For example, MQ-9B STOL will enable organic anti-submarine warfare and fleet defense missions without needing to return to a conventional land-based airfield for refueling and maintenance.
