The new era of high-tech warfare is forcing the U.S. military to rethink how it does everything—even the basics. Traditionally, command & control may have been pictured as troops at headquarters adjusting pins on a paper map or marking up an operation's plot as updates came in over radio.
Read moreThe company that introduced the world to unmanned warfare has entered a new era with an overhaul to its core lineup to confront and overmatch a new slate of high-tech threats. Some changes at General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) have been years in the making –enhancements to its MQ-9B SkyGuardian and SeaGuardian aircraft, as well as a modernized short takeoff and landing version of the proven Gray Eagle known as Mojave.
