General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and Barzan Holdings signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the opening day of the ongoing show to collaborate on the development of advanced Battle Management software capabilities.
The MoU was signed by GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue and Barzan Holdings Group CEO Mohammed bin Bader Al-Sadah. The two companies intend to develop software solutions that enhance theater-level situational awareness and enable the efficient processing, correlation, and dissemination of intelligence. The capabilities will support faster, higher-quality decision-making in complex, multi-domain operational environments.
In addition to unmanned aircraft systems, GA-ASI develops airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems. GA-Intelligence has the ability to take hundreds of sources of commercial data, including data provided from GA-ASI’s unmanned systems, to produce a comprehensive operating picture.
“Collaboration with Barzan and Qatar is central to GA’s approach to delivering operationally relevant, next-generation capabilities,” said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. “By combining GA’s expertise in mission systems and autonomy with Barzan’s regional insight and defence focus, we are positioned to advance battle management solutions that significantly improve situational awareness and intelligence exploitation.”
