海军陆战队选用GA-ASI的YFQ-42A无人机, The Marine Corps picks GA-ASI’s YFQ-42A drone for testing in its new combat aircraft program.

美国海军陆战队选择了普通原子航空系统公司(GA-ASI)根据其MUX TACAIR合作作战飞机方案评价YFQ-42A无人驾驶飞机。 The U.S. Marine Corps has selected General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) to evaluate the YFQ-42A unmanned aircraft under its MUX TACAIR Collaborative Combat Aircraft program. 该合同通过竞争授予,将把政府提供的特派团装备包纳入YFQ-42A替代工具,以评估远征行动的业绩。 The contract, awarded competitively, will integrate a government-provided mission kit into the YFQ-42A surrogate to assess performance in expeditionary operations. GA-ASI将迅速开发软件包的自主软件,这是一个传感器丰富、软件界定的系统,能够产生动能和非动能效应,加强人机组合。 GA-ASI will rapidly develop autonomy software for the kit, a sensor-rich, software-defined system capable of kinetic and non-kinetic effects, enhancing human-machine teaming. YFQ-42A于2025年8月首次飞行,使用模块式低成本设计,使特派团能够迅速适应情况。 The YFQ-42A, which first flew in August 2025, uses a modular, low-cost design enabling rapid mission adaptation. 这项工作以GA-ASI先前与美国空军合作的工作及其在MQ-9Reaper等系统方面的经验为基础。 The effort builds on GA-ASI’s prior work with the U.S. Air Force and its experience with systems like the MQ-9 Reaper. 该方案旨在增强海军陆战队在有争议环境中的远征航空能力。 The program aims to advance the Marine Corps’ expeditionary air capabilities in contested environments.
