| GHOST |
General Atomics has received a nearly $100 million contract from the United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to develop an innovative hybrid-electric strike and reconnaissance drone called GHOST. This project represents the creation of a new generation of ducted-fan unmanned aerial system that combines intelligence, surveillance, and strike capabilities.
GHOST is a hybrid-electric propulsion system, which means using a combined energy source to increase efficiency and reduce the visibility of the device. This technology makes it possible to significantly increase flight time, reduce thermal and acoustic radiation, which makes the drone inconspicuous and effective in modern warfare.
GHOST's main tasks include intelligence gathering, battlefield surveillance, and targeted strikes, making it a versatile tool for the U.S. Air Force. The use of hybrid electric propulsion opens up new opportunities for improving the survival and efficiency of drones in difficult counteraction conditions.
The contract with General Atomics reflects the commitment of the US Air Force to introduce advanced technologies in the field of unmanned systems, allowing it to maintain technological superiority and adapt to the new challenges of modern combat space.
