In November 2021, GA-ASI received a $103.2 million contract from the
U.S. Army and a $31.7 million contract from the
U.S. Navy on behalf of
Belgium. On December 9, 2021, GA-ASI unveiled the
General Atomics Mojave drone. On February 1, 2023, GA-ASI along with partner Maritime Applied Physics Corporation won a Phase 1 research contract on
DARPA's Liberty Lifter project. On March 6, 2023, the company announced that
DARPA has chosen GA-ASI to carry out the design of the air-launched drone through Critical Design Review (CDR); a LongShot would itself carry an
AMRAAM or
Sidewinder missile, which greatly extends their range. In this way, an
F-15EX or similar 4th-generation fighter can greatly increase its survivability when armed with a LongShot. On March 4, 2025, the
Chinese Ministry of Commerce placed 15 U.S. entities (including General Atomics Aeronautical Systems) on its export control list, barring the export of
dual-use commodities to that business. ==Products==
