General Atomics Launches Quadratix Software Enterprise
General Atomics has announced the launch of its Quadratix software enterprise, which will unify the corporation’s software development efforts across its divisions.
Among the division software efforts reorganized into Quadratix include those from Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), Electromagnetic Systems Group (GA-EMS), and Integrated Intelligence, Inc. (GA-III), with the company saying the increased collaboration on autonomy, artificial intelligence and machine learning produced by other GA divisions will benefit products like GA-ASI’s Predator unmanned aerial systems.
The Quadratix enterprise will drive General Atomics’ future efforts in:
- Autonomy, artificial intelligence and machine learning
- Airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance
- Land-based advanced sensing
- Sea-based threat detection
- Space-based missions and satellite operations
- Cyber exploitation
- Unified data fusion and visualization
“We’ve transcended a one-for-one software build and arrived at an integrated suite of software solutions for our aircraft and our customers,” said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. “We’re moving out fast to meet our users’ toughest challenges by grouping these solutions together under the Quadratix umbrella.”
“Quadratix integrates across our full catalog of subordinate systems to command, control, collect, catalog, and communicate information and intelligence to customers,” continued Blue. “Built from our existing integrated network of proven systems and subsystems, Quadratix is GA’s end-to-end solution for providing information dominance.”
Also announced on Monday was General Atomics’ purchase of North Point Defense, Inc., with the company to operate under General Atomics Integrated Intelligence. North Point Defense “delivers AI/ML-based autonomous signal processing and data dissemination solutions providing real-time actionable intelligence, supporting tactical and national mission priorities”, according to the General Atomics press release announcing the acquisition.
“Joining GA represents an incredible opportunity to enhance our impact in delivering cutting-edge SIGINT solutions in support of national and tactical users,” said Bruce Benenati, President of North Point Defense. “As part of a mission-focused organization with a proven track-record in tactical intelligence across the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community, we can accelerate innovation and deployment at scale. The integration gives our team access to unmatched operational expertise, resources, and a broader customer base. Together, we are poised to deliver even greater capabilities to those who depend on us in the field.”
