Sure! Here’s the translation in American English:


General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has made an important announcement regarding a new investment in the Dutch company Arceon. This decision comes shortly after Arceon’s successful presentation at the Blue Magic Netherlands (BMN) event held in November 2024. GA-ASI, globally recognized for its leadership in unmanned aircraft systems, chose Arceon for its innovative proposal and the fruitful discussions surrounding technology and business opportunities.

Arceon specializes in the development of high-performance ceramic composites, using a molten infiltration process that is quick, scalable, and cost-effective. Its products, such as the carbon-ceramic components known as Carbeon, are designed to meet the high demands of the aerospace and defense sectors, including applications in nozzles, leading edges, and fuselages.

The founder and CEO of Arceon, Rahul Shirke, expressed enthusiasm by stating, "Collaborating with General Atomics on hypersonic development is an honor. This milestone marks our entry into the U.S. defense sector, providing us with a platform to demonstrate our technology globally." Brad Lunn, the general manager of GA-ASI, also highlighted the versatility of Arceon’s technology, indicating that its usefulness could extend to various areas, including materials for exhaust engines and hypersonic applications.

The Blue Magic event, which focuses on investment and innovation, provided a conducive setting for innovative companies from the Netherlands to showcase their technologies. The event was organized in collaboration with various public and private organizations in the country and is set against the backdrop of GA-ASI’s delivery of eight MQ-9A aircraft to the Royal Netherlands Air Force.

The company continues to forge ties with the Dutch government and industry, fostering the growth of local innovation. GA-ASI plans to hold its second BMN event in Eindhoven later this year, following previous editions in Belgium and consecutive years from 2019 to 2023.
