Arlington, VA, May 9, 2010 – A Joint CBP and US Coast Guard team recently announced the completion of the Guardian UAS Operational Test Flight Program.
The Guardian UAS is a modified Predator B system with structural, avionics, and communications enhancements, as well as the addition of Raytheon SeaVue Marine Search Radar integrated with a Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab Ocean Surveillance Initiative system. The Guardian UAS also has a Raytheon Electro-optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Sensor that is optimized for maritime operations.
“We want to extend our congratulations to CBP, the US Coast Guard, General Atomics, Raytheon and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab on reaching this important milestone. The Guardian UAS system will provide outstanding actionable information and improve our maritime domain awareness by detecting and monitoring threats offshore before they can reach us,” said Dan Caine, President and CEO of Patriot Technologies Group. “In today’s high-stakes homeland security environment, we need every tactical advantage we can get and the Guardian will give us just that. We congratulate the test team and in particular Test Director Troy Fontaine. PTG is honored to assist this asset as it moves from testing into full operational capability,” said Caine.
