Are you ready to see the future of uncrewed air power? General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) announces major displays during the Air Force Association's (AFA) Air, Space & Cyber Conference, Sept. 16-18, 2024. During the show, just outside Washington, D.C., GA-ASI will exhibit:

  • The Air Force Research Laboratory's XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station (OBSS) – the actual operational aircraft will be parked for static display at GA-ASI's booth #734.
  • A full-scale model of GA-ASI's Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA), on display at the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's booth #1834.

Journalists and other AFA conference attendees are encouraged to view these and other GA-ASI exhibits to get the latest on how the company's leadership in aircraft hardware, autonomy software, and other cutting-edge capabilities make it the strongest contender to build the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) for the US and its allies.

OBSS

GA-ASI built the XQ-67A OBSS as part of an Air Force Research Laboratory effort. The aircraft flew for the first time in February 2024 and completed its initial round of flight testing in June. To demonstrate the maturity of its unmanned air-to-air platforms, GA-ASI engineers performed an Agile Combat deployment to the Gaylord Convention Center of the actual operational aircraft, using common commercial support equipment, to booth #734.

CCA

In addition, GA-ASI is showcasing a full-scale model of its CCA aircraft at booth #1834. In April, GA-ASI was selected to build a production CCA for the US Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. Large numbers of these highly capable autonomous warplanes will fly alongside, and well ahead of, legacy human-piloted fighters to enhance their sensing, networking, and combat capabilities.

"We're excited to show our industry colleagues what the future force will look like," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander.
