GA-ASI Expands Targeting Capability for MQ-9B SeaGuardian(R)
New Software Will Provide In-Flight Target Updates
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / April 7, 2025 / General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has demonstrated software that will provide in-flight target updates that will enable the MQ-9B SeaGuardian® Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) to close gaps on maritime targets. In a recent ground test, GA-ASI demonstrated the ability to send sensor data to the missile via Link 16 messaging. The software, part of General Atomics' Quadratix software enterprise, was validated in a Systems Integration Lab and is gearing up for a live-fire demonstration later this year.
"We continue to build on the innovative capabilities of SeaGuardian for the U.S. Navy," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "The targeting we've demonstrated will be especially valuable in contested environments, enabling an unmanned asset like SeaGuardian to be used for higher-risk missions instead of putting manned assets at risk."
Being able to fire and use SeaGuardian for targeting will significantly enhance the aircraft's mission set. GA-ASI first showcased its targeting capability for SeaGuardian during the U.S. Navy's Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2024.
SeaGuardian is a maritime derivative of GA-ASI's MQ-9B SkyGuardian® and remains the first UAS to offer multi-domain Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISR&T) as an internal payload that can search the ocean's surface and its depths in support of Fleet Operations.
With strong demand already in place, GA-ASI anticipates increasing interest in the MQ-9B SeaGuardian because it delivers high-end maritime capabilities at a significantly lower cost than traditional manned maritime platforms.

Sweden, the Czech Republic, and Greece Crowned Champions of Harm Reduction in Brussels3.7.2025 06:00:00 CEST | Press release
BRUSSELS, BE / ACCESS Newswire / July 3, 2025 / Brussels transformed into a Champions League pitch for tobacco harm reduction as the World Vapers' Alliance (WVA) honoured Sweden, the Czech Republic, and Greece with the "Champions of Change" trophy for their outstanding progress in cutting smoking rates. The ceremony, staged in front of the European Parliament, shone a spotlight on the countries leading Europe's fight against smoking-while EU officials looked on from the sidelines. WVA Director Michael Landl, presenting the awards, remarked, "The EU is stuck in a cycle of prohibition and continues to overlook the evidence that's saving lives. Instead of embracing proven solutions, Brussels is making it harder for smokers to quit." Sweden led the celebrations, having become the world's first officially smoke-free nation, with just 4.5% of Swedish-born adults smoking-five times lower than the EU average and 16 years ahead of the EU's own goal. The Czech Republic and Greece were also recog
