"GA-ASI's establishment of a working relationship with General Dynamics Canada represents a strategic commitment by both companies to help Canada strengthen its domestic security and sovereignty, as well as its defence operations overseas," said Thomas J. Cassidy, Jr., president, Aircraft Systems Group, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. "General Dynamics Canada's proven expertise in the collection, fusion and delivery of data in complex operational environments complements the multi-mission Predator B system's well-estabished, long-endurance reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities."

"The introduction of GA-ASI's Predator B aircraft system will play a key role in the Canadian Forces' transformation and add to the new ISR [Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance] capabilities that we are providing to the CP-140 Aurora and CH-148 Cyclone maritime air platforms," said John Watts, president, General Dynamics Canada.

by combining the complementary expertise, experience and technologies of two companies that are leaders in their fields, GA-ASI and General Dynamics Canada are uniquely positioned to respond to Canada's increasingly complex security environment. Their advanced technologies offer support for priority missions in the areas of national security, domestic and interoperable continental maritime surveillance, northern sovereignty, natural disaster response, critical asset protection, border surveillance and management of offshore fishery resources.
