Operations
In November 2021, GA-ASI received a $103.2 million contract from the United States Army, and a $31.7 million contract from the United States Navy on behalf of Belgium.
On 9 December 2021, GA-ASI unveiled the General Atomics Mojave drone.
On 1 February 2023, GA-ASI, along with partner Maritime Applied Physics Corporation won a Phase 1 research contract on DARPA's Liberty Lifter project.
On 6 March 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.
