AI summary of the notice · the full notice text is below
The 'UK Protector Ground Control' likely refers to contracts for ground control stations (GCS) as part of the UK Ministry of Defence's Protector RG Mk1 RPAS program with General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI). The initial £65 million contract (2020) included 3 aircraft, 3 GCS, and support equipment, with options exercised for 13 more aircraft and 4 additional GCS to total 16 aircraft and 7 GCS for RAF Intelligence, Surveillance, Targeting, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions. Separate UK PASS contracts provide ongoing logistics, maintenance, and training support for the RPA system, GCS, and synthetic training. No exact £150 million contract matches the query, but the program involves multi-year investments exceeding that value for global strike-capable drones replacing Reaper RPAS.
