HONG KONG, Feb 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala concluded with a spectacular display that served as a global collective debut for China’s robotics industry. On a stage shared by millions, companies such as Unitree Robotics, Magic Atom Robotics, Galbot, and Songyan Dynamics showcased the peak of domestic engineering and embodied intelligence. All of these companies are either invested in or deeply positioned within the robotics portfolio of Shoucheng Holdings Limited (0697.HK).This showcase, described by industry observers as the "Chinese Embodied Intelligence Parade," signaled the industry’s imminent transition into large-scale commercialization. As a national-level flagship event, the Gala serves as a barometer of technological readiness. The simultaneous appearance of multiple portfolio companies highlights Shoucheng Holdings’ industrial standing and marks a strategic pivot from the validation stage to the harvest phase.Systematic Deployment: Building a Robust Industry-Chain StructureShoucheng Holdings’ investment logic extends beyond simply picking star startups. Instead, it has constructed a systematic framework covering the most critical nodes of the robotics industry chain:Full-Machine Manufacturing and Scalability: Represented by Unitree Robotics, focusing on engineering maturity and the capability for large-scale commercial production.Embodied Intelligence Systems: Represented by Galbot, focusing on the deep integration of AI and hardware—the brain-body coordination that defines the future of the industry.Core Engineering and Power Systems: Represented by Songyan Dynamics, diving deep into the underlying power systems and mechanical components that provide the foundation for all robotic movement.This multi-layered approach—covering Full Machine, Systems, and Components—provides the portfolio with both growth elasticity and structural stability against market volatility.2026 Inflection Point: Driving Value Re-ratingFrom a financial perspective, Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics returns are shifting from incremental growth to structural explosion, driven by two core catalysts:First Catalyst is Valuation Re-rating through Industrial Leadership: As robotics moves from laboratory concepts to real-world delivery, companies with proven execution are seeing significant valuation uplifts. The national-level endorsement of the Spring Festival Gala has solidified these companies' market-leader status, generating positive feedback in financing and orders. According to market data, projects such as Galbot and X Square Robotics have already generated absolute investment returns exceeding 10x in recent financing rounds.Second catalyst is The "IPO Harvest Year" of the Capital Cycle: 2026 is poised to be the year when Shoucheng’s long-term bets move into concentrated realization. Unitree Robotics is currently in the final stages of IPO counseling and is expected to become the flagship robotics IPO of China. Analysts estimate that approximately four robotics companies within the portfolio will launch or complete their IPO processes within the year. As these assets move from private to public markets, the pricing logic will shift from technological speculation to performance-driven liquidity premiums.Scenario Closed-Loop: Evolving into an "Industrial Orchestrator"Beyond capital deployment, Shoucheng Holdings’ most forward-looking move is the construction of a commercialization closed-loop. The company is leveraging its deep resources in core commercial districts, smart parking networks, and medical parks to provide high-frequency application scenarios for its portfolio companies.Global Debut of the Robotics Service ComplexIn February 2026, Shoucheng Holdings officially launched the world’s first Integrated Robotics Service Complex in Shougang Park. This facility integrates experience, sales, maintenance, and service, marking Shoucheng’s transition from a pure investor to a deep industrial operator and "scenario orchestrator."Scenario Empowerment through "Taozhu New Creation Hub"This commercial pathway is being accelerated through the Taozhu New Creation Hub brand. By creating a path from stage exposure to offline experience and livestream conversion, Shoucheng is turning high-tech innovations into tangible consumer products. This model allows the company to capture not only equity appreciation but also stable commission and service-based cash flows, shifting toward efficiency-driven growth.Shoucheng Holdings has evolved far beyond a traditional financial investor to become an Industrial Resource Integrator and Scenario Orchestrator. Through its Capital + Scenario + Platform model, the company has built a multi-dimensional return structure. As 2026 marks the first year of large-scale robotic commercialization, Shoucheng’s years of strategic accumulation are reaching a point of resonance, triggering a comprehensive re-rating of its market value.

SINGAPORE, Feb 19, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Asia’s largest food retailers, manufacturers, restaurant chains, and hospitality groups remain behind international better practice on sustainable and responsible protein sourcing, but progress is accelerating across the region, according to The Asian Protein Buyers 100: An Assessment of Responsible and Sustainable Sourcing released today by Asia Research & Engagement (ARE). The APB100 is a benchmark based on investor-backed priorities - assessing how 100 of Asia’s largest listed protein-buying companies — headquartered or operating across Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mainland China, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam — manage environmental, social, and governance risks embedded in meat, dairy, poultry, and seafood supply chains. Collectively, the companies assessed represent more than USD500 billion in market capitalisation and sit at the choke point of Asia’s protein system, where procurement decisions shape production standards, risk management and food-system outcomes.The companies assessed include some of Asia’s most recognisable food and retail groups. These include China Mengniu Dairy, Yili Group, Yonghui and Yum China (Mainland China); AEON, Seven & I Holdings, Meiji, Nissin and NH Foods (Japan); CJ CheilJedang, Lotte and E-Mart (South Korea); Charoen Pokphand Foods and Thai Union (Thailand); Jollibee, Century Pacific Food and San Miguel Food & Beverage (Philippines); Vinamilk (Vietnam); and Hindustan Lever, Nestle India, Jubilant, Devyani, DMart, Westlife Foodworld (McDonald’s India) (India), among others.Scores are improving, but the baseline remains lowNow in its second edition, the benchmark shows clear momentum since 2023 — but also highlights that most companies remain at an early stage of credible implementation.The average overall score increased from 9% in 2023 to 16% in 2025, with around 80% of companies improving year-on-year. More than half of comparable companies moved up at least one performance tier.However, no company reached the top two performance tiers, underscoring a persistent gap between sustainability commitments and on-the-ground execution.A growing group of leaders is emergingThe number of companies in the leading Tier 3 group more than doubled from 10 in 2023 to 26 in 2025, while the lowest-scoring group halved from 44 to 21 companies.Progress, however, remains uneven and concentrated among a subset of early movers and sustainability themes, while a significant minority of companies continues to disclose little or nothing across several material risk areas.Climate, labour, and waste are moving fastestCompanies performed strongest on Water & Waste, Labour , and Climate Change, reflecting wider uptake of international disclosure frameworks and growing expectations around supply-chain due diligence.Climate and labour show the fastest improvement since 2023, driven by emerging regulatory pressure and investor scrutiny, particularly around Scope 3 emissions and labour standards in supply chains.Governance and protein diversification remain critical gapsSeveral material risk areas continue to show weak performance. Governance in relation to protein sustainability, remains the lowest-scoring theme, averaging just 4.5%, with most companies scoring zero. Few have board-approved protein sustainability strategies, capital allocation plans, or accountability mechanisms.Protein diversification also remains underdeveloped at 7.4%, indicating that most companies have yet to articulate how they will shift product portfolios toward truly low carbon plant proteins at scale.Disclosures on deforestation and biodiversity, animal welfare, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) also remain thin and rarely quantified. The intersection of climate and deforestation is still not being duly harnessed. Similarly, policies and procurement practices that strengthen animal welfare and enable antibiotic reduction remain a low point, with average animal welfare performance at just 14.1% and only one company aligned with recognised higher-welfare standards or independently certified disclosure.Why this matters: Asia is the decisive region for global protein systemsCompared with innovative international peers, many of Asia’s protein buyers remain behind on deforestation-free sourcing, antibiotic stewardship, higher-welfare policies and procurement, plant-protein targets and science-based climate transition planning.However, Asia now represents the most important opportunity for global leadership in responsible protein systems. And with less than five years to implement meaningful change towards various 2030 United Nations and related targets, the vision of a more responsible and sustainable food system is at risk.“Asia is the world’s fastest-growing protein market, which means what happens here will determine the future of global food systems,” said Kate Blaszak, ARE Director, Protein Transition. “ThisAPB100 shows that disclosure and awareness are improving and aims to trigger a shift from Policy to Practice. With a realm of better practice examples in the report to also assist companies, the next phase must focus on full supply-chain coverage, measurable targets, and annual progress with board-level accountability.”Download the APB100 Report HERE.About Asia Research & Engagement (ARE)ARE brings leading investors into dialogue with Asian-listed companies to address sustainable development challenges and help companies align with investor priorities.

ARE report finds JSW Energy and Tata Power best positioned for firm-power era; NTPC’s execution critical as coal economics tightenSINGAPORE / NEW DELHI, INDIA, Feb 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - India’s power sector is entering a decisive new phase as electricity demand surges, peak loads hit record highs, and the country moves toward its 500GW non-fossil capacity target by 2030 post a record 52GW capacity added in FY26But the next chapter of the transition will not be defined by installed capacity alone.  A new report by Asia Research & Engagement (ARE), Powering Net Zero: Pathways to Clean Energy for India’s Utility Companies, finds that the market is shifting toward firm, dispatchable and availability-linked power — creating clear divergence among India’s largest listed utilities.  The analysis identifies:  JSW Energy and Tata Power as best placed to monetise the transition, combining contracted renewable growth, storage depth and improving cashflow quality. Adani Green Energy remains the fastest capacity scaler with strong long-term visibility, though storage integration remains at an early stage. NTPC, India’s largest generator, retains unmatched scale and sovereign-backed financing, but its transition outcomes hinge on execution speed and managing coal’s declining role.Adani Power remains predominantly thermal, with limited exposure to the structural upside from renewables and storage.  The report also highlights tightening coal economics. While new ultra-supercritical coal plants clear bids at INR5. 5–6 per kWh, effective delivered costs rise materially once utilisation, fuel volatility and compliance costs are factored in. By comparison, round-the-clock and storage-backed renewable projects are clearing between INR2.7–5.1 per kWh with availability guarantees embedded in contracts.  “The debate is no longer coal versus renewables,” said Arun Kumar, Strategic Advisor for Power Markets & Technology Innovation at ARE and lead author of the report. “As procurement shifts toward round-the-clock supply, reliability and execution — not just megawatts — will determine competitive advantage.”   “While this ARE study highlights significant momentum across the sector, it also identifies areas where sharper strategic clarity, improved contracting frameworks, and stronger delivery capabilities will be essential to meeting India’s long-term decarbonisation goals.”   For deeper analysis and complete assessment, download the complete report HERE. About Asia Research & Engagement (ARE)ARE brings leading investors into dialogue with Asian-listed companies to address sustainable development challenges and help companies align with investor priorities.

Highlights:Yellow Cat uranium and vanadium exploration drilling program to commence;The program aims to confirm the mineralization extends for 4,500m between known Uranium and Vanadium historical workings;Sampling has yielded values up to 10.33% U3O8 and 25.6% V2O5;Drilling contractor selected and program to commence in early March.BRISBANE, AUS, Feb 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Anson Resources Ltd (ASX:ASN) ("Anson" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that its wholly owned Utah-based subsidiary, UV1 Minerals LLC, will commence a targeted exploration drilling program at the Yellow Cat Uranium-Vanadium Project located in the Thompson District of southeastern Utah, USA.Under the approved program, drilling is scheduled to begin in early March 2026 and will test a strike length of approximately 2,500 metres of uranium and vanadium mineralisation along historical trends between known workings. Previous surface sampling has confirmed significant uranium mineralisation, including values up to 10.33% U3O8 and 25.61% V2O5, affirming the prospectivity of the project area.The program will include multiple shallow drillholes to verify and extend known mineralised zones, with diamond coring supporting detailed assaying and future resource definition. The Company's objective is to confirm that the mineralisation continues between historical mining locations and to lay the groundwork for subsequent resource evaluation activities.Executive Chairman and CEO, Bruce Richardson, said:"Commencing drilling at Yellow Cat marks a key exploration milestone for Anson's U.S. portfolio. This program builds on strong historical data and our confidence in the project's potential to host additional uranium and vanadium mineralisation. We look forward to providing results in the near future."Strategic Importance of UraniumThis drilling initiative comes at an exciting juncture for uranium globally and particularly in the United States. Uranium, the fundamental fuel for nuclear power, has recently been reinstated on the U.S. Critical Minerals List, reflecting its growing importance to national energy security and supply chain resilience.The resurgence of interest in nuclear energy is driven by several critical policy and market factors:U.S. Government Focus on Critical Minerals: The 2025 Critical Minerals List reinstatement recognises uranium's strategic role, aligning federal support and incentives towards domestic fuel supply development and reducing reliance on foreign sources.Nuclear Power Expansion: With increasing electricity demand from the expansion of Data Centers and AI applications, nuclear power is gaining renewed emphasis as critical component of a diversified energy mix to support the power grid. Projects to restart existing reactors and build new advanced reactors underline the importance of secure domestic uranium supply.Regional Alignment - Utah: The State of Utah has actively positioned itself as a critical minerals hub, supported by state leaders and regulatory frameworks that encourage responsible nuclear power and critical minerals development. The presence of the White Mesa Mill, the only conventional uranium/vanadium processing facility currently operating in the U.S., enhances infrastructure synergies for projects like Yellow Cat.This combination of federal and state priorities dovetails strongly with Anson's exploration activities, underscoring the potential for both economic and strategic value creation as domestic uranium supply gains renewed momentum.Drilling Down on Yellow CatThis drilling program located on the eastern block of the project area is along strike of the historical mineral resource, see ASX Announcement 4 February 2026, that was sourced from USGS reports*. The mineralisation is shallow or comes to the surface and as a result, the mineralised horizon is located above the water table which will result in shallow drilling and minimal disturbance. The Eastern claim block of the project contains a well-defined east-west striking zone of uranium and vanadium mineralisation at excellent grades. Table 1 shows a selection of the sample results collected during Anson's previous exploration programs. Anson plans to drill the mineralised trend from the Windy Point and McCoy Group to the Cactus Rat and Mineral Treasure mines. Drill depths will range from 12m to 40m. Diamond coring of some mineralized zones would allow both assaying for uranium, vanadium and associated minerals and metallurgical studies such as density interpretations that can be used in mineral resource calculations.The exploration program aims to confirm the uranium and vanadium mineralization continues between the two historical mining locations which is a strike length of 2,500m. If successful, further drilling programs will be designed to prove up mineral resources in the eastern area. In addition, an exploration program consisting of reverse circulation (RC) and diamond (DDH) drilling that twins historical drillholes in the central block is planned to confirm the assay results of the historical drillholes. Confirmation of the assay results would enable the historical resource to be possibly upgraded to a 2012 JORC mineral resource. Numerous open drillholes have been located which would allow new downhole surveys to be carried out reducing the cost of an extensive drilling program. The water table in this area appears to be relatively level with primary uranium/vanadium mineralization.Notes:1. Underground sample location coordinates are based on location of the closest underground adit. Ore pad grad samples location coordinates are for the ore pad sampled.2. Conversion of uranium (U) to uranium oxide (U3O8) is by factor of 1.179.3. Conversion of vanadium (V) to vanadium oxide (V2O5) is by a factor of 1.785.*Mobley, C.M & Santos, E.S., 1956, Exploration For Uranium Deposits in the Yellow Cat and Saw Park Areas, Thompson District, Grand County, Utah: U.S Geological Survey Trace Elements Investigations Report 448 United States Department of the Interior Geological Survey. *Alvord, D.C, 1952, Interim Report on Exploration in the Yellow Cat Area, Grand County, Utah.

SAN DIEGO, Feb 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) passed a new milestone this month, successfully integrating 3rd-party mission autonomy into the YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft to conduct its first semi-autonomous airborne mission.For this test, GA-ASI used mission autonomy software supplied by Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, to fly the new YFQ-42A CCA, designed and developed by GA-ASI for the U.S. Air Force. The Sidekick Collaborative Mission Autonomy software was seamlessly integrated with the YFQ-42A's flight control system, utilizing the Autonomy Government Reference Architecture (A-GRA). The integration enabled robust and reliable data exchange between the autonomy software and the aircraft's mission systems, ensuring precise execution of mission autonomy commands.During the recent testing, autonomy mode was activated via the Ground Station Console (GSC). Once enabled, a human autonomy operator on the ground transmitted various commands directly to the YFQ-42A, which executed the instructions with high accuracy for more than four hours. This test highlights the effectiveness of Sidekick's advanced mission autonomy capabilities and the flexibility of the A-GRA standard in supporting complex operational requirements."We are excited to collaborate with Collins to deliver enhanced autonomous mission solutions," said David R. Alexander, president of GA-ASI. "The integration of Sidekick with our YFQ-42A demonstrates our commitment to innovation and operational excellence in unmanned aircraft technology."This achievement underscores GA-ASI's dedication to advancing autonomous systems for defense applications. The combination of Sidekick autonomy software and YFQ-42A mission systems, connected through A-GRA, sets new benchmarks for combat autonomy, mission flexibility, operator control, and system reliability."The autonomy capabilities showcased in this flight highlight our dedicated investment to advance collaborative mission autonomy," said Ryan Bunge, vice president and general manager for Strategic Defense Solutions, Collins Aerospace, an RTX business. "The rapid integration of Sidekick onto this General Atomics platform and its immediate ability to support a broad spectrum of combat-relevant behaviors underscores the strength and flexibility of our open systems approach."This first mission autonomy flight continues a robust YFQ-42A development schedule for GA-ASI that began in August 2025 with initial flights of YFQ-42A Tail One. In less than six months, GA-ASI has built and flown multiple YFQ-42A aircraft, including push-button autonomous takeoffs and landings.GA-ASI has been building and flying uncrewed jets for nearly two decades, beginning with the company-funded, weaponized MQ-20 Avenger® in 2008. Ongoing company investment in Avenger continues to yield results, as the aircraft routinely serves as a CCA surrogate for advanced autonomy development and testing in both government programs and company-funded research and development.As a family-owned, privately held defense company for more than 30 years, GA-ASI is known as one of the original disruptors in the U.S defense industry, pioneering and inventing many of the technologies now considered ubiquitous in uncrewed aircraft operations around the world. The company re-invests more than 35 percent of annual revenue into internal research and design projects, building ahead of need and designing capabilities ahead of requirements.In 2025, for example, an internally funded Avenger demo featured both GA-ASI's TacACE autonomy software and Shield AI's Hivemind software on the same flight, with the MQ-20 seamlessly switching between AI pilots while still airborne. Later in the year, GA-ASI teamed with Lockheed Martin and L3 Harris for another Avenger flight demo, connecting the MQ-20 with an F-22 Raptor for an advanced manned-unmanned teaming mission that allowed the human fighter pilot to command the Avenger as an autonomous CCA surrogate via tablet control from the cockpit.In 2024, GA-ASI first flew its XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station (OBSS) jet, developed in collaboration with Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). This early CCA prototype validated the "genus/species" concept pioneered with AFRL as part of the Low-Cost Attritable Aircraft Platform Sharing (LCAAPS) program, focused on building several aircraft variants from a common core chassis.GA-ASI's Gambit Series envisions multiple missionized variants from this common core concept, with XQ-67A already showcasing airborne sensing and YFQ-42A illustrating air-to-air combat. Using this novel manufacturing approach to drive overall customer value, GA-ASI can quickly pivot to diverse missions with less time and cost investment than building a clean-sheet aircraft.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

美国加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥, 2026年2月13日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.（GA-ASI）本月达成一项新的里程碑，成功将第三方任务自主系统集成至 YFQ-42A 协同作战飞机（Collaborative Combat Aircraft, CCA），并完成其首次半自主空中任务。在此次测试中，GA-ASI 采用了由 RTX 旗下企业 Collins Aerospace 提供的任务自主软件，对这款为美国空军设计和开发的全新 YFQ-42A CCA 进行飞行测试。Sidekick 协同任务自主软件基于 Autonomy Government Reference Architecture（A-GRA，自主系统政府参考架构）标准，与 YFQ-42A 的飞行控制系统实现了无缝集成。该集成实现了自主软件与飞机任务系统之间稳健且可靠的数据交换，确保任务自主指令能够被精准执行。在近期测试过程中，通过地面控制台（Ground Station Console, GSC）激活了自主模式。启用后，地面的人类自主操作员向 YFQ-42A 直接发送多项指令，飞机在超过四小时的飞行过程中以高精度执行了相关指令。本次测试凸显了 Sidekick 先进任务自主能力的有效性，以及 A-GRA 标准在支持复杂作战需求方面的灵活性。“我们很高兴与 Collins 展开合作，共同提供增强型自主任务解决方案，”GA-ASI 总裁 David R. Alexander 表示。“Sidekick 与我们的 YFQ-42A 的集成，体现了我们在无人机技术领域持续创新与追求卓越运营能力的承诺。”这一成就彰显了 GA-ASI 在推进自主系统用于国防应用方面的坚定投入。通过 A-GRA 实现互联的 Sidekick 自主软件与 YFQ-42A 任务系统的结合，为作战自主能力、任务灵活性、操作员控制能力以及系统可靠性树立了新的标杆。“此次飞行所展示的自主能力，体现了我们在推进协同任务自主方面的持续投入，”RTX 旗下 Collins Aerospace 战略防务解决方案副总裁兼总经理 Ryan Bunge 表示。“Sidekick 能够快速集成至这一 General Atomics 平台，并立即支持广泛的作战相关行为，充分彰显了我们开放系统架构方法的优势与灵活性。”此次首次任务自主飞行，延续了 GA-ASI 强劲的 YFQ-42A 研发进度。该项目始于 2025 年 8 月，当时完成了首架 YFQ-42A（Tail One）的首次飞行。在不到六个月的时间内，GA-ASI 已建造并试飞多架 YFQ-42A 飞机，其中包括通过按钮控制实现的自主起飞与自主着陆。GA-ASI 研发与试飞无人喷气式飞机已有近二十年历史，始于 2008 年公司自筹资金开发的武装型 MQ-20 Avenger®。公司持续对 Avenger 项目进行投入并不断取得成果，该机型经常在政府项目及公司自筹研发项目中充当 CCA 替代平台，用于先进自主技术的开发与测试。作为一家由家族拥有、私营控股的国防企业，GA-ASI 在过去 30 多年中一直被视为美国国防工业最早的“颠覆者”之一，率先研发并创造了多项如今已成为全球无人机运行领域普遍应用的关键技术。公司每年将超过 35% 的营收再投入内部研发与设计项目，提前布局需求，超前设计能力。例如，在 2025 年的一次公司内部资助的 Avenger 演示飞行中，同一架飞机同时搭载了 GA-ASI 的 TacACE 自主软件与 Shield AI 的 Hivemind 软件，MQ-20 在空中飞行过程中实现了不同 AI“飞行员”之间的无缝切换。随后在当年晚些时候，GA-ASI 与 Lockheed Martin 及 L3 Harris 合作开展了另一场 Avenger 飞行演示，将 MQ-20 与 F-22 Raptor 战斗机连接，执行先进的有人—无人协同任务。该任务允许人类战斗机飞行员通过座舱内的平板设备，对 Avenger 作为自主 CCA 替代平台进行指挥控制。2024 年，GA-ASI 首次试飞其 XQ-67A 机外感知站（Off-Board Sensing Station, OBSS）喷气式飞机。该机型由 GA-ASI 与美国空军研究实验室（Air Force Research Laboratory, AFRL）合作开发。这一早期 CCA 原型机验证了与 AFRL 共同提出的“属/种（genus/species）”概念，该概念源自“低成本可损耗飞机平台共享计划”（Low-Cost Attritable Aircraft Platform Sharing, LCAAPS），旨在基于统一核心底盘构建多种飞机变型。GA-ASI 的 Gambit 系列构想基于这一通用核心平台开发多种任务化变型，其中 XQ-67A 已展示空中感知能力，而 YFQ-42A 则展示了空对空作战能力。通过这种创新的制造方法提升整体客户价值，GA-ASI 能够以比从零开始设计新型飞机更少的时间与成本投入，快速转向不同任务需求。关于 GA-ASI通用原子航空系统公司（General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.，GA-ASI）是全球领先的无人航空系统（UAS）制造商。GA-ASI 的 Predator® 系列无人机已累计超过 900 万飞行小时，并在过去 30 年内持续服役，旗下机型包括 MQ-9A Reaper®、MQ-1C Gray Eagle®、MQ-20 Avenger® 以及 MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®。公司致力于提供长航时、多任务解决方案，以实现持续的态势感知与快速打击能力。欲了解更多信息，请访问 www.ga-asi.com 。Avenger、EagleEye、Grey Eagle、Lynx、Predator、Reaper、SeaGuardian 和 SkyGuardian 是 General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. 在美国和/或其他国家注册的商标。联系方式GA-ASI 媒体关系ASI-MediaRelations@ga-asi.com(858) 524-8101来源: General Atomics Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.
