MQ-9B SeaGuardian | General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.

BELGIAN AIRCREW COMPLETES MQ-9B TRAINING

GA-ASI’s MQ-9B SkyGuardian^® Training Was Conducted at Multiple Sites,
Including Flight Test & Training Center and Desert Horizon

SAN DIEGO – 17 July 2025 – The first Belgian aircrew has completed training to operate the world’s leading remotely piloted aircraft (RPA): the MQ-9B SkyGuardian^®. General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), designer and developer of the MQ-9B, provided the extensive aircrew training that culminated at GA-ASI’s Desert Horizon test facility in El Mirage, California, following stops in Belgium and GA-ASI’s Flight Test & Training Center in North Dakota.

“Providing all-encompassing training for the aircrews of our customers goes hand-in-hand with delivering the world’s most capable RPA,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “Completing this training ensures that Belgium is ready and able to operate their MQ-9Bs and maximize the benefits that come from long-range, high-endurance RPA.”

The scope of the training is focused on the foundational skills required to operate the MQ-9B SkyGuardian air vehicle and its equipment, including the Multi-Spectral Targeting System (MTS), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Mission Intelligence Station (MIS), and System for Tasking and Real-Time Exploitation (STARE). Training involves building solid foundations for both normal and emergency operations in Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems, instrument flying, and Automatic Takeoff and Landing Capability (ATLC) and more.

The first flight of Belgium’s initial MQ-9B aircraft took place in February. That aircraft will soon complete Acceptance Test Procedures and is expected to be in Belgium before the end of September. It’s the first of a four-aircraft purchase by the Belgian Ministry of Defence. The Foreign Military Sale to Belgium also includes two Certified Ground Control Stations.

MQ-9B is the world’s most advanced RPA system, delivering exceptionally long endurance and range — with ATLC under pole-to-pole SATCOM-only control — and will be able to operate in unsegregated airspace using the GA-ASI-developed Detect and Avoid system. MQ-9B includes the SkyGuardian and SeaGuardian^® models, with multiple deliveries made to the U.K.’s Royal Air Force (Protector), as well as orders from Canada, Poland, Japan, Taiwan, India, and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. MQ-9B has also supported various U.S. Navy exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, and Group Sail.

About GA-ASI

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world’s foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 8 million flight hours, the Predator^® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper^®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle^®, MQ-20 Avenger^®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian^®/SeaGuardian^®.

A New Transatlantic Partnership for European CCA

Posted on Friday, 18 July, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

A NEW TRANSATLANTIC PARTNERSHIP FOR EUROPEAN CCA

General Atomics announces plans for rapid international uncrewed fighter development

RAF FAIRFORD, UK – 17 July 2025 – General Atomics is taking a bold step toward rapidly delivering a European Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) — based on a mature U.S. platform, assembled in Europe, with European mission systems — by aligning its independent U.S. and German aerospace affiliates under a teamed operation.

The new aircraft is derived from the U.S. Air Force’s YFQ-42A prototype, currently in ground testing and scheduled for first flight later this summer, designed and built by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) in San Diego, Calif. European mission system customization and manufacturing in Europe will be supported by General Atomics’ German aerospace affiliate, General Atomics Aerotec Systems GmbH (GA-ATS), headquartered in Oberpfaffenhofen, near Munich.

Leveraging the prior investments of these established aerospace companies on both sides of the Atlantic provides a jump start for European uncrewed fighter development and a pathway to meet the speedy acquisition timelines set by European nations. It also provides an established path for further international collaboration efforts and indigenous defense partnerships, based on both companies’ previous successes in global aircraft delivery.

“We’re eager to combine our uncrewed aircraft system expertise with the airborne sensor and weapons system expertise of the European defense industry, starting with our own affiliate GA Aerotec Systems GmbH in Germany,” said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. “With a proven CCA design already in production today, these systems will be delivered in significant quantity with high-technology European inputs to build and sustain affordable mass for NATO’s fighter forces.”

GA-ASI is the world’s foremost builder of unmanned aerial systems, delivering more than 1,200 aircraft over three decades and supporting a net fleet operation approaching 9 million flight hours. The company has pioneered three types of unmanned combat jets, including the groundbreaking MQ-20 Avenger^® (2009) and the U.S. Air Force’s XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station (2024). Its YFQ-42A fighter was rapidly developed from the XQ-67A baseline and is expected to fly only 18 months after its predecessor.

International collaboration is a significant focus for General Atomics. GA-ASI aircraft are flown by the US, the U.K., Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, India and many other customers around the world. GA-ASI’s high-value supply chain for UAS extends deeply into these partner nations, where major airframe components, subsystems, and complete sensor payloads are manufactured.

GA-ATS is a German aircraft manufacturing and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul company. Aircraft have been manufactured and serviced on the company site for more than 40 years. The company conducts MRO on NH-90 helicopters for the German military; builds, sustains, and modifies the Do-228 multi-role aircraft; and performs engine overhaul on the TPE-331-10 turboprop engine, common to both Do-228 and MQ-9A/B unmanned aircraft.

A new Collaborative Combat Aircraft for Europe, leveraging the YFQ-42A baseline, will benefit from these previous successes, Blue explained.

“European nations are essential and irreplaceable allies for the United States and our company,” he said. “We will supply a mature aircraft baseline already well along in its development, and we’ll look forward to German and other European national partnerships to bring these aircraft online in European and NATO air forces as the Continent grows a new generation of highly capable defense systems.”

About GA-ASI

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. is the world’s foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging nearly 9 million flight hours, the Predator^® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper^®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle^®, MQ-20 Avenger^®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian^®/SeaGuardian^®.

LATEST GA AUTONOMOUS JET DEMO FEATURES LIVE AIR-TO-AIR ENGAGEMENT CAPABILITY

Autonomous Tasking With TacACE and Optix.C2 Showcase Maturity and Operational Readiness

SAN DIEGO – 17 July 2025 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and General Atomics Integrated Intelligence, Inc. (GA-Intelligence) successfully completed a groundbreaking demonstration on July 8, integrating technologies across multiple affiliates to showcase long-range kill chain effects, including an autonomous air-to-air engagement. The flight integrated local and global sensor fusion to deliver real-time situational awareness and autonomous tasking to an airborne MQ-20 Avenger^® through the Tactical Autonomy Core Ecosystem (TacACE) to close the kill chain and showcase the system’s maturity and operational readiness for the warfighter.

The event featured the integration of a Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA), a fully compliant government owned autonomy implementation, and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) Command and Control (C2). The MQ-20 unmanned jet, furnished by GA-ASI, acted as a CCA surrogate in a sensor Emission Control (EMCON) environment. It was operated autonomously and controlled using distributed-edge C2 nodes powered by Optix.C2 and Omniview software. Optix.C2, a product from General Atomics-Intelligence, provided low-latency, localized C2 functionality while remaining networked to the broader operational picture, enabling real-time coordination across multiple domains.

Dr. Brian Ralston, President of GA-Intelligence, applauded the joint effort. “This demonstration illustrates the value of integrating cutting-edge and proven technologies across the GA enterprise. The Optix data platform and C2 capability enable rapid integration and experimentation to address critical DoD and IC needs.”

General Atomics successfully fused space-based sensing and tactical sensing with the C2 node during the flight, giving the aircraft access to a complete real-time threat picture for enhanced onboard autonomous decision-making. The demonstration also included live coordination of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and kinetic tasking through a unified operator interface capable of deployment in virtually any cloud environment.

During the exercise, the live MQ-20 aircraft autonomously patrolled a designated Combat Air Patrol (CAP) zone, leveraging off-board sensors to demonstrate how passive collection techniques can inform autonomous platforms in real time. Four CCA surrogates — one live and three virtual — were directed by an operator to investigate multiple targets of interest. Upon identifying them as threats, the operator issued a command to initiate the BLOS engagement. The autonomous systems maneuvered into position, simulated missile launches, assessed battle damage, and returned to CAP without additional operator input.

“This demonstration represents a substantial leap in autonomy and human-machine interfaces that are critical to the warfighter in the near-peer fight,” said Michael Atwood, Vice President of Advanced Programs at GA-ASI. “By integrating Optix.C2 with TacACE, we’re delivering a system that not only operates at the tactical edge but also enables rapid decision-making and execution across the battlespace. This is the future of warfare — scalable, autonomous systems that empower the warfighter to dominate at range.”

GA-ASI continues to develop and validate autonomy products that deliver scalable, collaborative aircraft behavior with minimal operator input. GA-Intelligence provided muti-sensor global fusion and engagement orchestration algorithms and interfaces. This latest milestone expands the company’s autonomy portfolio with access to a complete threat picture while advancing critical-edge C2 capabilities and intuitive operator interfaces.

Military, First Responders, TEMS personnel, and their families can receive an additional 20 percent off any item from www.supplesquad.com with the use of unique discount codes from GovX.com.

“Our military and first responders face extraordinary physical challenges every day,” says Peter Apatow, Founder and CEO of SUPPLE. “It’s an honor to provide products that are designed to support their missions – supplements with premium, clinically effective ingredients they can trust to help them stay active, mobile, and ready for whatever comes next.”

The SUPPLE product line includes SUPPLE Drink Instant, SUPPLE Drink, SUPPLE TurboFlex Joint Health Supplement, and SUPPLE Pets Hip & Joint Health Chews.

SUPPLE Drink Instant is a 7-day fast-acting, peach-mango flavored orthopedic performance drink mix designed to deliver powerful support for joint comfort, mobility, flexibility, and protection. It features premium European pharmaceutical-grade chondroitin sulfate—the same ingredient quality trusted by over 55 million people worldwide and prescribed by doctors in Europe for over 50 years—alongside high-purity, shellfish-free glucosamine.

The original SUPPLE Drink, with over 100 million cans sold, remains a convenient, delicious way to support joint health and delivers the same benefits as Supple Instant. Each sparkling ready-to-drink can is packed with the same dosages of premium European pharma-grade chondroitin, glucosamine, Boswellia extract, and vitamins C and D3 found in SUPPLE Instant – plus a small amount of natural fruit juice for enhanced flavor. SUPPLE Drink contains a modest level of caffeine (unlike the caffeine-free Supple Instant), making it a refreshing option for those looking for joint support with a light energy boost. Whether on a long shift, traveling, or working through tough physical demands, SUPPLE Drink offers a ready-made option that fits right into a cooler or go-bag, keeping joint health support simple and effective for those who serve.

SUPPLE TurboFlex Joint Health Supplement is a premium capsule-based joint supplement developed to help support peak joint function and performance for active individuals. At its core is a clinically studied Boswellia serrata AKBA extract, a powerful gum resin of Indian frankincense, a plant that has been safely used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. Standardized to a patented AKBA concentration, this key ingredient is backed by a strong Cochrane Collaboration review, strong clinical research, and is shown to help improve joint comfort, mobility, and flexibility in as fast as seven days. TurboFlex works by helping to block destructive enzymes that attack joints and by promoting an environment in which joints can move and perform at their optimal potential. Flexible dosing allows users to adjust based on daily needs, making it an ideal companion for personnel on deployment, in training, or responding to call-outs where drink mixes may not be practical.

Working K9s—whether in military, law enforcement, search and rescue, or service roles—face just as many physical stresses as their handlers. SUPPLE Pets Hip & Joint Health Chews are formulated with premium, human-grade glucosamine and chondroitin to support canine joint health, mobility, and flexibility. Containing the same European pharma-grade chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine found in SUPPLE Drink, these tasty chews are an ideal daily addition for K9s engaged in active service, training, or retirement.

SUPPLE products are made in the USA with premium key ingredients sourced globally, are shellfish-free, and contain no fake or unproven ingredients or dosages. They are manufactured under FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and are independently verified by the leading research firm, Eurofins.

Formulated for those who demand more from their bodies and their supplements, SUPPLE is built to serve America’s military, first responders, veterans, and K9 heroes.

“This new hybrid load is engineered for waterfowlers who refuse to compromise,” said Kyle Masinelli, Senior Director of Product Innovation and Strategy for Winchester. “By combining plated precision steel shot with ultra-dense TSS, we’ve created a load that delivers devastating downrange energy, tighter patterns, and lethal penetration even at extended distances. Last Call Double Shot delivers the incredible performance of TSS without the ultra-premium price tag of all TSS shotshell loads.”
Key features of Last Call™ Double Shot™:

18 G/CC TSS Shot – More payload energy and deeper penetration than traditional steel hunting loads
Inescapable patterns – Stacked payload with half-sized shot improves pellet counts to maximize lethality
Harsh weather proven – Sealed wad and primer offer incredible water resistance for safe and reliable performance

The agreement was signed at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome on July 11 by Ukrainian Defense Industry Director General Oleh Huliak and D&M Holding Company CEO Daniel Powers in the presence of Lt. General (Ret.) Keith Kellog – US Special Envoy to Ukraine, Ambassador Julie S. Davis – US Chargé d’Affaires to Ukraine, Lynndy Smith – Member of Ukrainian Defense Industry JSC Supervisory Board, Oleksandr Kamyshin – Advisor to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and James Jones – Executive Vice President, D&M Holding Company, Inc. Powers also spoke on a panel for defense manufacturing during the conference.

The single base propellant made in this new US-based facility will be used for artillery ammunition, including 155mm shells which are greatly needed by Ukraine in their ongoing defense against Russia.

“We have to gradually move from large-scale procurement to our own production to meet our immediate needs. It is equally important that the company will operate in a safe area. Our cooperation with American arms companies will continue in other areas,” emphasized Director General Huliak.

“This joint venture continues to build upon and further strengthen the relationship between D&M and Ukrainian state-owned enterprises with projects now in both Ukraine and the US,” said Powers.

SIG SAUER P320/M18 and P365 Fielded by the Michigan State Police

NEWINGTON, N.H., (July 16, 2025) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is proud to announce the Michigan State Police has fully transitioned their agency to the SIG SAUER P320/M18 pistol with a SIG ROMEO-M17 optic and FOXTROT2R light as their issued primary handgun system and the SIG SAUER P365 as their secondary firearm.

“We are proud the Michigan State Police chose SIG SAUER as its primary and secondary sidearm,” began Tom Jankiewicz, Executive Vice President, Law Enforcement Sales for SIG SAUER, Inc. “The Michigan State Police conducted an exhaustive testing process to determine the selection of SIG SAUER pistols.”

The SIG M18 was selected by the U.S. Army as part of the Modular Handgun System Program and is the P320 variant fielded by the United States Marines Corps. The P320/M18 will serve as the primary sidearm of the Michigan State Police. The SIG ROMEO-M17 red dot optic is military tested and assigned a NSN number, designed to meet the rigors of use by professional end users.

The FOXTROT2R weapon-mounted white light was designed to meet the needs of tactical professionals. Together, this system provides a comprehensive, best in class primary handgun solution for the men and women who serve the Michigan State Police.

The P365 is a high-capacity micro-compact providing the Michigan State Police more capacity, concealability, and capability than other compact systems on the market. The ergonomic design of the P365 retains the characteristics of a full-sized pistol making it more effective than a typical concealable pistol, providing the Michigan State Police a highly concealable, reliable secondary firearm.

All SIG SAUER products are developed from the ground up to withstand the rigors of the professional user and we are proud to serve the Michigan State Police.

XQ-67A Demonstrates Autonomy and Datalink Interoperability During High Desert Flight Test

Posted on Thursday, 17 July, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

The Future of Airpower: XQ-67A | General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.

XQ-67A DEMONSTRATES AUTONOMY AND DATALINK INTEROPERABILITY DURING HIGH DESERT FLIGHT TEST

HIGH DESERT TEST RANGE, Calif. – 16 July 2025 – AFRL’s XQ-67A, a second-generation Autonomous Collaborative Platform (ACP), successfully demonstrated integration of government reference autonomy during a recent flight test in the California High Desert.

The flight showcased the integration of government-owned autonomy on the XQ-67A, paired with active tactical datalink communications, to enable dynamic mission execution and real-time coordination with both crewed and uncrewed systems. The event marked a major milestone in advancing scalable, modular autonomy and seamless interoperable crewed-uncrewed teaming (C/U-T).

“This successful test underscores the Department’s commitment to fielding autonomous systems that can integrate into joint operations using existing tactical networks,” said Mike Atwood, Vice President of Advanced Programs for General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI). “Government owned autonomy on the XQ-67A is a concrete step toward deployable, combat-relevant autonomy that works with and alongside crewed platforms.”

During the flight, the XQ-67A executed test points to validate the integration of mission systems on the aircraft, including autonomy, mission computing, networking, power and thermal management, and datalinks. Through a tactical datalink, the aircraft received real-time updates and situational data, giving it the ability to coordinate seamlessly with crewed aircraft and other autonomous systems in the future.

The XQ-67A platform, built by GA-ASI under contract with AFRL, plays a critical role in exploring the platform sharing approach to achieving scalable affordable mass. Its performance in this flight test advances the Air Force’s vision for an integrated autonomous force that can support and augment current and future crewed platforms.

The successful demonstration in the high desert highlights the promise of combining government-owned autonomy with proven tactical communications infrastructure. This approach accelerates technology transition and supports AFRL learning objectives regarding the integration of mission systems within the context of the highly relevant XQ-67A testbed.

NEBO’s BLUELINE Series Flashlights Deliver in Demanding Conditions

Power, Durability, and Versatility

Fort Worth, Texas (July 16, 2025) – There is no room for shortcuts when the job calls for the best equipment. That means finding the most reliable, best-performing flashlights available. Designed to meet the rigorous needs of first responders, the BLUELINE series helps all those answering the call, no matter the conditions. That means a strong, durable, waterproof flashlight with multiple modes, battery backup, a power bank, and magnetic bases is needed. But where can a flashlight that encompasses all those needs be found?

NEBO has the answer with its BLUELINE Series of flashlights. When the job demands resilience, the BLUELINE delivers. Designed for those who work hard and never back down from a challenge, these rugged, high-performance flashlights embody the enduring spirit of those who keep our world moving forward. The BLUELINE Series is available in three Flex models, ranging from 600 to 2600 lumens, and the Luxtreme MZ60 BLUELINE Edition.

Each BLUELINE Flex flashlight features four versatile light modes and is built from aircraft-grade aluminum for durability. Each comes with an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning it will shine through the harshest conditions, while the shock-resistant housing ensures each model can withstand the rigors of demanding work. All three feature Flex-Power™ hybrid technology, powered by the included rechargeable or AAA alkaline batteries. And when the unexpected strikes, the integrated USB-A port turns the flashlight into a portable power bank, keeping essential devices charged. The 600 Flex provides 600 lumens of light with a 5x adjustable zoom, all while measuring roughly five inches in length. Packing 1800 lumens of light into a 7-inch frame, the Flex 1800 comes with a 4x adjustable zoom. The 2600 Flex measures ten inches long, providing 2600 lumens with a 5x adjustable zoom.

The Luxtreme MZ60 BLUELINE Edition is a 2-in-1 flashlight and spotlight that boasts 1000 lumens for close-range illumination and an impressive beam distance of over half a mile for long-range spotlight performance. With five adaptable light modes and a 16x adjustable zoom, it can handle any situation near or far. The rechargeable design, featuring a bidirectional USB-C port, enables the Luxtreme MZ60 to function as a power bank, adding extra convenience. With an IP67 waterproof rating, it excels in almost any needed condition.

Whether answering the call, tackling the next project, or venturing into the outdoors, the BLUELINE Series is built to perform.

Big Horn Armory Now Offers Painted Stock Options for the Model 89 Black Thunder and Model 89 White Lightning

Posted on Thursday, 17 July, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Big Horn Armory Now Offers Painted Stock Options for the Model 89 Black Thunder and Model 89 White Lightning

New Polane-painted wood stocks provide unmatched durability, weather resistance, and custom appeal for demanding outdoor use.

Cody, Wyo. (July 2025) – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is proud to announce a rugged new upgrade for its tactical lever-action rifles: painted wood stocks are now available for the Model 89 Black Thunder and Model 89 White Lightning. Using a two-part Polane polyurethane enamel, these new stocks are offered in gray with black webbing or black with gray webbing, combining custom aesthetics with exceptional durability and field performance. Watch the recent Off the Bench, Episode 23, where they discuss this new painted option.

“We’ve had a lot of customer interest in finishes that can stand up to tough weather, hard use, and still look sharp,” said Greg Buchel, Owner of Big Horn Armory. “These painted stocks are not only functional, but they’re also beautiful, durable, and easy to maintain or touch up after the hunt. They bring real-world value to two of our most popular rifles.”

Unlike composite stocks, these are hand-finished wood stocks coated with the same type of industrial-grade Polane paint used on heavy-duty machinery and precision bolt-action rifles. Polane paint offers higher resistance to abrasion, impact, and chemicals and is excellent protection against corrosion. It is easy to refinish for scratches or chips, should that ever happen.

The Model 89 Black Thunder and the Model 89 White Lightning, both chambered in .500 S&W Magnum, offer hunters and shooters a modern lever gun with classic western lines. Built on the same robust action as BHA’s Model 89 lever guns, these tactical versions include stainless-steel construction, a factory-installed Scout rail, a hunter-friendly curved lever, and now, the option for a painted web stock design built to thrive in any environment.

Painted stock options are now available as a factory upgrade when ordering directly from Big Horn Armory. For more on Big Horn Armory, visit www.bighornarmory.com

About Big Horn Armory:

Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the expressed intention of designing a Browning-type lever-action gun chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The Big Horn Armory Model 89, made in America, closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metallurgy and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September of 2012 and since then, BHA has added to their big bore lineup with a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, the Model 90A in 454 Casull, the Model 90B in .45 Colt, the Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory took a departure from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range, semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.
