MQ-9B Skyguardian (786eb656-6129-58ad-b5c5-64c77a208c6a)

General Atomics MQ-9B SkyGuardian is a certifiable MALE remotely piloted aircraft for persistent ISR, maritime/overland surveillance, and optional precision strike, using a single Honeywell TPE331-10 turboprop driving a rear pusher propeller. Compared with earlier MQ-9A Reaper variants, MQ-9B emphasizes all-weather operation, de-icing, lightning protection, detect-and-avoid provisions, and airworthiness alignment for access to controlled civil airspace. Procurement interest has included the UK Protector RG Mk1 program and other allied customers seeking long-endurance ISR with growth paths for sensors and weapons.
