Denmark has formalized the purchase of four MQ-9B SkyGuardian unmanned aircraft, manufactured by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. This transaction also includes three Certified Ground Control Stations and was announced in collaboration with the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA).
With this acquisition, Denmark joins a growing number of European countries that have opted for the MQ-9B, recognized for its multidimensional capabilities and remarkable range and endurance. This system, with polar-to-polar satellite control, is designed to operate in harsh Arctic conditions, providing support not only to Denmark but also to its NATO allies. Its Detection and Avoidance system enables operations in non-segregated airspace, making it a highly versatile option for various missions from Danish territory.
Recently, the MQ-9B became the first large remotely piloted aircraft to receive a Military Type Certificate from the UK Military Aviation Authority, ensuring its safe operation even in areas with high population density. David R. Alexander, president of GA-ASI, emphasized that this milestone reflects the increasing demand for this platform, especially for its effectiveness in maritime surveillance in the northern European seas.
The MQ-9B SkyGuardian stands out as the only unmanned system offering Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting capabilities across multiple domains. Its design allows for thorough monitoring of both surface and ocean depths, critical aspects for naval operations. Additionally, the system features diverse payload options, including a maritime surveillance package and pods for launching sonobuoys.
The NSPA has been instrumental in facilitating this transaction, creating a contractual framework that fosters cooperation among member countries and promotes the use of the MQ-9B in Europe. The agency aims to enhance interoperability and streamline training and joint operations among nations in the region. Stacy A. Cummings, NSPA’s General Director, highlighted that this acquisition is an example of how multinational purchases can be carried out efficiently, ensuring advancements in interoperable technological capabilities.
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. positions itself as a global leader in unmanned aerial systems, with over 30 years of experience in the sector, including the MQ-9A Reaper and MQ-1C Gray Eagle models. The company remains committed to developing long-endurance solutions that optimize situational awareness and response capabilities in critical situations.
