General Atomics‘ aeronautical systems business has secured a $39.5 million contract modification from the U.S. Air Force to build a ground control station for the company-built Predator unmanned aircraft system.
GA-ASI is scheduled to complete work by March 25, 2019, the Defense Department said Monday.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center will obligate the full amount of the modification at the time of award from fiscal 2015 aircraft procurement funds.
Poway, California-based GA-ASI manufactures remotely piloted aircraft systems, radars and electro-optic platforms.
