The new Quadratix enterprise will bond GA's large software workforce and extensive suite of systems under a unified umbrella, merging solutions for:

  • Autonomy, artificial intelligence and machine learning
  • Airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance
  • Land-based advanced sensing
  • Sea-based threat detection
  • Space-based missions and satellite operations
  • Cyber exploitation
  • Unified data fusion and visualisation

This new cross-functional collaboration is designed to promote interoperability across all GA product lines, providing streamlined options for customers hoping to capitalize on the breadth and depth of General Atomics' expertise.

As one of the largest privately held defense companies in the world, General Atomics has been a disruptive force in aerospace and defence technology for decades, employing more than 1,000 software engineers, programmers and related experts. Its new Quadratix enterprise merges software efforts from across the company's various affiliate divisions, including Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), Electromagnetic Systems Group (GA-EMS), Integrated Intelligence, Inc. (GA-III) and other General Atomics holdings.

The move offers new options for both current and future GA customers. One example is the unmanned aircraft delivered by GA-ASI, with its Predator series of UAS and future-forward autonomous jets, which will benefit from increased collaboration on autonomy, AI and ML produced by other GA divisions.

"We've transcended a one-for-one software build and arrived at an integrated suite of software solutions for our aircraft and our customers," said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. "We're moving out fast to meet our users' toughest challenges by grouping these solutions together under the Quadratix umbrella."

GA's transformational technologies continue to revolutionise how global military forces address complex challenges and respond to evolving threats. From data processing, exploitation and dissemination to data fusion and real-time situational awareness, GA's vertically integrated software teams work closely with its hardware engineers to build versatile, flexible systems that mesh seamlessly behind the scenes.

"Quadratix integrates across our full catalog of subordinate systems to command, control, collect, catalog, and communicate information and intelligence to customers," said Blue. "Built from our existing integrated network of proven systems and subsystems, Quadratix is GA's end-to-end solution for providing information dominance."
