General Atomics Aeronautical Systems has unveiled its new software platform Quadratix, which will become the central control element for unmanned fighter aircraft in the framework of promising military programs, including the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program. This system is positioned as a universal "brain" for drones — a multifunctional platform capable of managing missions, processing data and ensuring interaction in complex networks.
Quadratix is compared to Adobe Suite for Combat Operations: it combines various software solutions developed earlier within the company into a single integrated system. This approach makes it possible to significantly improve the control efficiency of unmanned aerial vehicles, especially in conditions of high saturation of the information space and counteraction from the enemy.
The creation of Quadratix was made possible by more than 30 years of General Atomics experience in the field of operation and development of unmanned systems, including the legendary MQ-9 Reaper, which is used worldwide in various operations — from reconnaissance to strike missions. Now this experience has formed the basis of a new generation of autonomous aircraft controlled through a single software.
During the development, special attention was paid to scalability and the open architecture of the system, which allows integrating new technologies and algorithms as they become available. This makes Quadratix not just a management platform, but a flexible and adaptable solution for future combat missions.
Thus, Quadratix marks an important step forward in the creation of autonomous aerial systems that can operate both independently and in close cooperation with manned aircraft, forming a new era in military aviation.
