March 28 (UPI) -- General Atomics received a $39.5 million contract modification to support production for an unmanned aircraft system ground control station.
The contract, which calls for a station to manage medium-altitude craft, was awarded by the U.S. Air Force. Such stations are designed to allow military personnel to connect with remotely piloted aircraft such as the MQ-1 Predator or the MQ-9 Reaper.
