SAN DIEGO, CA, Mar 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) achieved another major milestone in the development of Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs) by flying U.S. government-provided autonomy software aboard a company-owned MQ-20 Avenger®. The demonstration was part of the Air Force Test Center's all-domain test series called Orange Flag 25-1, which took place Feb. 19-21 at Edwards Air Force Base, California.The demonstration included the use of a government-provided Pilot Vehicle Interface (PVI), showcasing GA-ASI's commitment to advancing its UCAV ecosystem through collaboration with partners and government entities and integrating cutting-edge technologies. Avenger is a jet-powered UAS used extensively by GA-ASI as a test bed for future Autonomous Collaborative Platforms.GA-ASI also demonstrated the ability to rapidly swap between autonomy systems midflight over Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) satellites utilizing an autonomy product from Shield AI.Orange Flag 25-1 is part of the larger Orange Flag Evaluation and Demonstration Event series. This event brought together various stakeholders to test and validate advanced aerospace technologies in realistic operational scenarios.The government-provided autonomy software - known as a reference autonomy stack - was integrated into the GA-ASI Avenger and demonstrated autonomous flight operation capabilities focused on conducting air-to-air engagements. The government-provided PVI enabled seamless control and monitoring of the autonomy stack, highlighting the interoperability and flexibility of GA-ASI's UCAV ecosystem. The Shield AI stack demonstrated autonomy skills for safe administrative phases of flight.What the flights proved was that GA-ASI aircraft can quickly go from company-written software, to government-provided, to other vendors' software as needed. This reinforces that the new generations of GA-ASI's UCAVs can seamlessly get upgrades as fast as developers finish them. Just as a mobile phone can get new and better features with each update, so too can new UCAVs get more capable and more versatile."This demonstration marks a significant achievement in our ongoing efforts to operationalize autonomy for UCAVs," said GA-ASI Vice President of Advanced Programs Michael Atwood. "Flying the government reference autonomy stack at Orange Flag 25-1 and utilizing the government-provided PVI underscores our commitment to delivering robust and adaptable autonomy solutions for the warfighter. We especially appreciate and salute the support we received from the 309th Software Engineering Group."The successful flight at Orange Flag 25-1 further validates GA-ASI's dedication to maturing its open standards-based autonomy software ecosystem.

SAN DIEGO, CA, Mar 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) welcomes the U.S. Air Force's designation for its Collaborative Combat Aircraft: the new uncrewed jet fighter will be called the YFQ-42A. The announcement on Monday followed an earlier USAF decision in 2024 that GA-ASI was selected to develop and build the YFQ-42A. "We're proud to get a new official aircraft designation," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "YFQ-42A continues a long and distinguished history for GA-ASI that dates back to the 1990s and the debut of the RQ-1 Predator®, which later changed to MQ-1 Predator. That uncrewed aircraft gave way to the MQ-9A Reaper®, the MQ-20 Avenger®, our new MQ-9B SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian®, and many others."These aircraft represent an unrivaled history of capable, dependable uncrewed platforms that meet the needs of America's warfighters and point the way to a significant new era for airpower."The Air Force selected YFQ-42A as the Mission Design Series (MDS) for GA-ASI's CCA prototype, representing the first in a new generation of unmanned fighter aircraft. YFQ-42A will be critical in securing air dominance for the Joint Force in future conflicts, leveraging autonomous capabilities and crewed-uncrewed teaming to defeat enemy threats in contested environments.The Air Force is developing Autonomous Collaborative Platforms to maintain its air superiority. Semi-autonomous aircraft, like YFQ-42A, will enhance flexibility, affordability, and mission effectiveness. YFQ-42A will enhance air superiority as a flexible, affordable force multiplier. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with current and next-generation crewed aircraft, expanding mission capabilities and ensuring continued air dominance. In short, YFQ-42A provides fighter capacity - affordable mass - at a lower cost and on a threat-relevant timeline.The YFQ-42A designation follows the Air Force's decision to designate GA-ASI's highly common predecessor aircraft as the XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station. The XQ-67A was ordered by the Air Force Research Lab to support the development of concepts necessary to implement the vision for CCA.In the Air Force system, an "X" plane is designed for testing and experimentation, while "Y" describes initial production-representative aircraft, usually ahead of a formal program. "F" is for fighter and "Q" designates an uncrewed aircraft. Once the production-representative aircraft moves into production, the "Y" will drop from the prefix.GA-ASI will have a one-sixth scale model of the YFQ-42A on display during the Air Warfare Symposium March 3-5, 2025, in booth #1003.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.

SINGAPORE, Mar 3, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) has developed and commercialized software for virtualized radio access network (vRAN) base stations. The company aims to provide this software to telecommunications carriers in Japan and internationally, and to deploy more than 50,000 vRAN base stations by fiscal 2026.vRAN is a system that will serve as the foundation for the development of network technologies in the future, including further enhancement of 5G services, optimization and streamlining of operational costs, flexible network design, accelerated area deployment, and collaboration with the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN®) concept proposed by NTT. This is expected to facilitate the development and introduction of new technologies through Open RAN, and promote innovation while reducing power consumption.NEC's vRAN achieves carrier-grade network quality that complies with the specifications defined by the O-RAN ALLIANCE (*1). In addition, because it complies with open interface specifications, it is guaranteed to work in conjunction with equipment from different vendors and cloud environments. By using this software, it is possible to achieve a RAN configuration that is optimal for the specifications required by telecommunications carriers. In addition, it uses a fully containerized architecture and is based on 5G hardware base station technology and knowledge that is cloud-native, has a proven track record of large-scale commercial use, and it is compatible with cutting-edge general-purpose servers. Furthermore, it uses Qualcomm Technologies' inline accelerator, the Qualcomm Dragonwing X100, to speed up processing, and achieves the high speed and large capacity communications that are characteristic of 5G.NEC has already deployed a 5G core network (5GC, *2) that uses virtualization technology, and the commercialization of this software for vRAN will enable the construction of a total cloud-native 5G network from the core to the RAN. This will make it possible to provide a high-quality 5G network that can flexibly respond to diverse service requirements.Furthermore, by utilizing this software, resource reallocation through virtualization is possible, enabling as much as a 65% reduction in total device power consumption when compared to existing 5G base station equipment (*3).In addition, NEC has developed a Near Real-time RAN Intelligent Controller (Near-RT RIC) to enhance the functionality of vRAN. This enables dynamic customization of RAN operation in response to diversifying service demands, and enables functional expansion such as quality improvement, SLA guarantees, and power saving (*4). Moreover, when combined with NEC's solutions for advanced network operation management, the construction time for mobile infrastructure can be reduced by approximately 70% compared to conventional methods, enabling large-scale commercial deployment of 5G networks in a short period of time."NEC is excited to announce the commercialization of our vRAN software, which will play a critical role in shaping the future of network technologies," said Takashi Sato, Corporate Senior Vice President at NEC. "Our vRAN solution not only adheres to strict O-RAN ALLIANCE specifications but also leverages open interfaces and a fully containerized architecture to ensure optimal integration with multi-vendor and cloud environments.""We are very pleased to see our strong collaboration with NEC moving forward with commercial deployment of the Virtualized Distributed Unit (vDU) using the Qualcomm Dragonwing X100 accelerator card," said Gerardo Giaretta, VP & GM of 5G RAN Infrastructure, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "This collaboration demonstrates our commitment to delivering high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective 5G solutions that meet the evolving needs of network operators around the world."Going forward, NEC will continue to work towards providing high-performance 5G networks that are geared towards 5G Advanced and 6G, as well as networks with high scalability and flexibility that can respond to diversifying service requirements.(1) O-RAN ALLIANCE:An international industry organization that promotes standardization with the aim of realizing open and scalable next-generation wireless access networks, including 5G.(2)5G core (5GC)A mobile core network system that accommodates 5G wireless.(3)Based on NEC's evaluation criteria.(4)Press release: NEC Develops Near Real-time RIC for High Performance 5G vRAN www.nec.com/en/press/202502/global_20250221_02.htmlAbout NEC CorporationNEC Corporation has established itself as a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies while promoting the brand statement of “Orchestrating a brighter world.” NEC enables businesses and communities to adapt to rapid changes taking place in both society and the market as it provides for the social values of safety, security, fairness and efficiency to promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.
