Multi-domain, Multi-INT ISR Mission Planning, Command & Control, and Exploitation

 

For more than 30 years, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has led the development and integration of autonomy and artificial intelligence (AI) for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). GA-ASI brings end-to-end solutions built on an advanced open systems architecture and secure infrastructure that enable collaborative, scalable, and reliable mission planning and execution. GA-ASI's connected technologies reduce manpower demands and operator burden across the full ISR lifecycle by streamlining workflows and accelerating decision-making. These solutions seamlessly integrate with existing C4ISR environments, fusing sensor data, video, and other intelligence products from defense organizations and government ministries and agencies.

At the heart of GA-ASI's offerings is a fully integrated suite of automated mission capabilities that form the Quadratix ecosystem. This suite includes STARE (System for Tasking and Real-Time Exploitation), Multi-Mission Controller (MMC), Metis, TACSIT-C2^®, TACSIT-PED^®, TacACE, Claw^®, and the Optix family—including OptixC2 and its other variants. Together, these technologies deliver a unified, end-to-end Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations and Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) framework, giving operators the leading edge.

Multi-Mission Controller (MMC)

MMC enables a single user to safely control multiple aircraft and their missions simultaneously by leveraging a combination of automation and user experience-based design. From MMC, users transit their aircraft, as well as execute routine Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.

Metis Automated Collection Management & Intelligence Sharing

A GA-ASI developed capability that streamlines and automates the collection management process while allowing for rapid, cloud-based intelligence sharing. Metis' map-based interface enables users to request ISR as easily as one orders a car from Uber.

STARE

The System for Tasking and Real-Time Exploitation’s (STARE) Common Operation Picture shows aircraft locations, where the operator can look and determine what they are looking at. The Multi-INT exploitation tool ingests, archives, disseminates and makes ISR data discoverable for imagery analysts to utilize. STARE reduces data exploitation tasks from hours to minutes.

eXpeditionary Command & Control (XC2^®)

XC2 eliminates the need for forward deployed ground control stations, crews and pilots to Launch-and-Recover Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). XC2 leverages GA-ASI's Advanced Cockpit by taking the same software and porting it to a ruggedized laptop.
