Sure! Here’s the translation into American English:
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has recently introduced the Gambit 6, a new unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) that enhances ground-air operation capabilities in its line of aircraft. This model is part of the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) international program, marking a significant advancement in the versatility of modern platforms applied to conflicts.
The Gambit 6 has been designed to conduct missions that include electronic warfare, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), and precision deep strikes. The creation of this UCAV responds to the growing need for air forces seeking to improve their operational effectiveness against emerging threats in increasingly complex combat environments. According to David R. Alexander, president of GA-ASI, “these threats are real and require effective solutions.”
One of the main features of the Gambit 6 is its modular architecture, which, along with an internal weapons bay designed to reduce its signature, allows for easy integration of advanced autonomy systems, sensors, and armaments. This not only enhances its combat effectiveness but also offers remarkable strategic flexibility.
The fuselages of the Gambit 6 are expected to be available for international acquisition starting in 2027, with versions tailored for the European market planned for 2029. In order to strengthen sovereign capabilities in its products, GA-ASI has begun forming industrial partnerships in Europe.
The Gambit series is capable of offering multiple variants of collaborative aircraft that can be quickly reconfigured, utilizing a common core that allows for efficient and cost-effective large-scale production. These aircraft are intended to meet various needs, ranging from intelligence and reconnaissance to multidomain combat and advanced training.
The development of the Gambit 6 also benefits from lessons learned in previous projects, such as the YFQ-42A, which complements manned fighters like the F-35 and enhances detection and survivability capabilities in complex airspaces. GA-ASI has been evolving the Gambit series since its introduction three years ago, starting with four models, each designed for specific roles.
With over 30 years of experience in the industry and more than 9 million accumulated flight hours, GA-ASI solidifies its position as a leader in unmanned aerial systems (UAS), offering long-lasting solutions that ensure advanced situational awareness and rapid response capability in today’s combat scenarios.
