General Atomics' Mojave drone showcased combat prowess, destroying static targets in successful live-fire tests, a milestone for the UAS.
On April 13, 2024, the unmanned aircraft system destroyed static targets during live-fire testing, marking another achievement for the demonstrator aircraft.
In the demonstration, Mojave conducted seven passes over two flights, firing approximately 10,000 rounds of ammunition as it effectively engaged and destroyed a range of targets. The military and aerospace communities have shown great interest in Mojave due to its short takeoff and landing capabilities. Mojave can perform STOL while “retaining significant advantages in endurance and persistence over Vertical Takeoff and Landing and human-crewed aircraft,” said Alexander, president of GA-ASI, in a blog The company launched the MQ-1 Predator drone 25 years ago, and since then, it has released more advanced models, including the MQ-9 Reaper and MQ1C-Gray Eagle.
