General Atomics Gnat Around 1997/98, General Atomics began the development of the I-Gnat ("Improved Gnat"), an enlarged and more capable derivative of the Gnat-750. Although the -750XP name would suggest that it is based on the original -750, source [4] quotes characteristics very similar to the larger I-Gnat.

General Atomic GNAT-750 The CIA-operated Gnat 750-45 Lofty View reportedly can carry a 450-500 pound payload consisting of a synthetic aperture radar with one foot resolution, three EO or IR sensors in a chin turret and a wideband satellite data-link antenna. While the GNAT-750 has a 24-30 hour endurance, the manned relay aircraft greatly limits the overall effectiveness of the system. The I-GNAT system is an improved version that offers the combination of long endurance, large payload capacity, ease of use and low maintenance while providing a very low cost per flight hour. www.fas.org /irp/program/collect/gnat-750.htm   (704 words)

AERONAUTICAL SYSTEMS The I-GNAT is an improved version of the original GNAT-750 and is designed to takeoff and land conventionally from any hard surface. The GNAT systems offer the combination of long endurance (over 40 hours), large payload capacity, ease of use and low maintenance while providing a very low cost-per-flight-hour. GNAT aircraft systems are in operation with U.S. and foreign customers. www.uav.com /products/ignat.html   (60 words)

UAV Forum Vehicles Production Gnat 750 General Atomics' Gnat-750™ represents the first of a new generation of long endurance (greater than 24 hrs) UAVs evolving from the DARPA/Leading Edge Amber program. It has been the basis for the subsequent Altus, Predator/Horus, Gnat-750XP (eXtra Performance), and I-Gnat (Improved) models. Later model Gnats are capable of conducting air-to-air video relay and carrying external (wing) payloads. www.uavforum.com /vehicles/production/gnat750.htm   (68 words)

General Atomics Gnat General Atomics also built the Gnat-BT, a much smaller vehicle with the same control system as the Gnat-750. According to a General Atomics press release from 1994, this designation refers to an enlarged Gnat-750 design, which evolved directly into the RQ-1 Predator. The UAV's standard payload is a movable sensor turrent under the nose, which houses a stabilized FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared) system, a daylight TV and a low-light TV camera. www.designation-systems.net /dusrm/app4/gnat.html   (986 words)

RQ-1 Predator Medium Altitude Endurance (MAE) UAV The Predator system is composed of three parts: the air vehicle [a derivative of the Gnat 750] with its associated sensors and communications equipment, the ground control station (GCS), and the product or data dissemination system. The Predator, assigned to the 57th Wing at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., was performing an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission when the propeller lost forward thrust and caused the aircraft to crash. The success of the Predator during this exercise played a substantial role in the decision to deploy it to the European theater in the summer of 1995. www.globalsecurity.org /intell/systems/predator.htm   (1867 words)

UAV Annual Report FY 1997: Payloads TCS was integrated aboard the USS Tarawa for a demonstration during the November 1997 Fleet Exercise (FLTEX), using the Gnat 750 (with MUSE as a backup simulation tool). TCS Levels 2 and 4 (direct data receipt, and UAV and payload control, respectively) were successfully demonstrated. TCS disseminated video imagery and telemetry data via closed-circuit television (CCTV) and the Joint Defense Intelligence Support System (JDISS). www.fas.org /irp/agency/daro/uav97/page38.html   (593 words)

RQ-1 Predator Medium Altitude Endurance (MAE) UAV The Predator system is composed of three parts: the air vehicle [a derivative of the Gnat 750] with its associated sensors and communications equipment, the ground control station (GCS), and the product or data dissemination system. The ground control station consists of a pilot position and a payload operator position which are interchangeable, a Data Exploitation, Mission Planning and Communications (DEMPC) position where imagery is annotated and initially exploited, and a SAR workstation. However, the aircraft failed to respond to the pilot’s commands, indicating the flight control computers were disabled by the hazardous weather conditions. www.globalsecurity.org /intell/systems/predator.htm   (1867 words)

General Atomics RQ/MQ-1 Predator The Predator, which first flew in July 1994, was based on GA-ASI's earlier Gnat-750 UAV, which was itself derived from Amber vehicle, built in the late 1980s. Further improvements of the Predator system, designated as Block 10 and 20, are also known to have been procured, but details of the upgrades are not available. Development of the upgraded Block 1 version of the Predator system began in 1998, and was completed in the 2000/01 time frame. www.designation-systems.net /dusrm/app2/q-1.html   (1035 words)

NASA Dryden X-Press - October 1994 GNAT 750 - Developed as a multi-day duration UAV by General Automics, El Mirage, Calif., this aircraft is scheduled to be flown here for about one month next spring in a joint flight program with the Department of Energy. Apex will be carried to an altitude of up to 130,000 feet by gas balloon and released to carry out extended soaring missions that could last up to two hours. At the heart of ERAST are five testbed UAV concepts, each being studied by a NASA-industry alliance in areas of performance, aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, materials, avionics, and sensor technology. is2.dfrc.nasa.gov /Newsroom/X-Press/1994/xp-94-10.html   (1035 words)

RQ-1 Predator Medium Altitude Endurance (MAE) UAV The Predator system is composed of three parts: the air vehicle [a derivative of the Gnat 750 ] with its associated sensors and communications equipment, the ground control station (GCS), and the product or data dissemination system. RQ-1 Predator accident report released (AFPN) 23 Dec 1999 -- Officials investigating the April 18 crash of an RQ-1 Predator unmanned aerial vehicle near Tuzla Air Base, Bosnia, have determined the accident resulted from a combination of mechanical and human factors. The success of the Predator during this exercise played a substantial role in the decision to deploy it to the European theater in the summer of 1995. www.fas.org /irp/program/collect/predator.htm   (1035 words)

Future Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle - UCAV An advanced Predator B was operated by a US Joint Task Force based at Djibouti in the Horn of Africa on behalf of the CIA that first deployed the GNAT 750, Predator's predecessor, in Bosnia in 1995. It was not the first time UAVs carried and deployed weapons successfully, US Navy TDR-1 unmanned aircraft attacked Japanese shipping off the Solomon Islands with 2,000lb bombs and torpedoes in 1944 and Maverick and Stubby Hobo missiles were test fired successfully from Ryan Firebee UAVs during the 1970s. The assassination of a leading al-Qaeda operative in Yemen with a Hellfire in October 2002, showed UCAV's potential as an anti-terrorist weapon. www.global-defence.com /2003/ucav_03.htm   (1201 words)
