POWAY, Calif. - General Atomics will participate in the MQ-25 Stingray unmanned air vehicle (UAV) program. The company says its entry will be optimized to meet the U.S. Navy's requirements. The Navy issued a draft request for proposals in July.
The MQ-25 Stingray will provide the U.S. Navy with an unmanned aerial refueling tanker. General Atomics is competing against Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin and Boeing. The U.S. Navy could award a development contract in 2018. The first aircraft carrier could receive this system as early as 2019 or 2020.
The final RFP could appear in the fall.
