The concept of the unmanned aerial system (UAS), which consists
of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as well as the ground control
ecosystem that supports it, is revolutionizing the way military
information is gathered and even how adversaries are engaged.
GE Intelligent Platforms has been there
every step of the way, with a wide range of
embedded computing products specifically
tailored to meet the size, weight, and power
(SWaP) constraints of UAV designs.
The use of UASs is expected to grow
dramatically as unmanned platforms weigh
heavily into the announced plans of the
U.S. Department of Defense and defense
departments in other nations as well as non-

and emergency response leaders recognize
that UASs provide a means of reducing risk
to personnel, conducting missions under
conditions that would preclude the use of
manned flight platforms. UASs also lower
capital and operating expenditures for
battlefield deployments as well as security,
emergency and police patrols.
