General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), a leading manufacturer of remotely-piloted aircraft (RPA), tactical reconnaissance radars, and electrooptic surveillance systems, has announced the procurement of its first Predator XP RPA system by the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Predator XP is an updated version of the company’s flagship Predator RPA that has been licensed by the US Government for sale to a broader customer base, including countries in the Middle East and North Africa.

“Two years ago we made a commitment to help the UAE strengthen its national security and protect critical infrastructure, and today we are pleased to share the news that this allied nation will soon be realising the benefits of Predator XP’s long-endurance and wide-area surveillance capabilities,” said J. Neal Blue, Chairman and CEO, GA-ASI.
