WASHINGTON: "Reaper, and Gray Eagle-maker General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, unveiled on Dec. 9 its newest unmanned aircraft system, Mojave, capable of handling much greater payloads and taking off and landing using short, undeveloped surfaces. Mojave essentially takes a Gray Eagle fuselage and adds enlarged wings with high-lift devices and a Rolls Royce 450-horsepower turboprop engine. The UAS is based on the avionics and flight control systems of the MQ-9 Reaper and the MQ-1C Gray Eagle-Extended Range, General Atomics representatives told reporters in a Dec. 8 briefing.

Mojave’s payload capacity is 3,600 lbs and it can carry up to 16 Hellfire missiles, for example. Other payload options are electro-optical/infrared, synthetic aperture radar/ground moving target indicator and signal intelligence."
