First Deliveries Expected Early In 2020
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has been advised that the Australian Government has selected GA-ASI’s MQ-9B SkyGuardian variant to provide the Armed RPAS for the Australian Defence Force (ADF) under Project Air 7003. This follows the Government’s announcement in November 2018 that GA-ASI would provide Armed RPAS to the ADF. The ADF expects to take first delivery in the early 2020s.
