First Eagle Eye Radar Rolls Off the Line

Military Orders Already Underway

On July 31, the first of many EagleEye radars rolled off the General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) production line.

The EagleEye was built by GA-ASI. This company is a subsidiary of General Atomics, an RPA, radar, and electro-optic system manufacturer. Established in 1993, GA-ASI is a military contractor that produces a range of tech, including UAS and radar imagery systems.

Their new radar system is intended to capture high-res imagery through clouds, rain, dust, smoke, and fog. It will be a “drop-in” enhancement for the current U.S. Army’s Gray Eagle Extended Range UAS.

The EagleEye multimode radar works alongside several GA-ASI products and software. This includes an Active Electronically Scanned Array antenna, which was revealed earlier this year, and the Synthetic Aperture Radar for low-vis conditions. These features, along with on-board Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) software, extend the EagleEye’s target detection range.

The EagleEye Radar will play a role in the initial configuration of GA-ASI’s new Gray Eagle 25M. This UAS is built for combat operations, specifically regarding Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA) missions. The GE 25M employs anti-jam GPS and SATCOM, along with an extended sensor range provided by EagleEye, for cyber threat protection. 

All of these features serve one main purpose: to meet the needs of the U.S. armed forces. 12 of these UAS have been ordered by the Army National Guard so far.

“The EagleEye radar has improved range and multi-mode performance, which is tailored to the deep sensing capability required for Multi-Domain Operations (MDO),” explained Jeff Hettick, GA-ASI VP of Agile Mission Systems. “We look forward to delivering the EagleEye to our U.S. Army customer in the near future.”
