At the ILA Berlin Air Show, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and INTEC Group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for INTEC to support the architecture and integration of mission systems, entry into service and logistic support services for GA-ASI’s Gambit Series of Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA).

The work is intended to provide sovereign capabilities to meet the growing interest in CCA in Germany. The MoU was signed by GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue and INTEC Group CEO Christoph Otten.

GA-ASI’s flight-proven Gambit CCA provides a common platform for air-to-air, air-to-ground and electronic warfare missions. Gambit is an uncrewed combat jet optimized for attack roles such as electronic warfare, Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD), Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses (DEAD) and stand-off precision strike, making it a versatile option for evolving security needs.

GA-ASI is currently flight testing the YFQ-42A CCA for the U.S. Air Force and was selected by the U.S. Marine Corps for its CCA evaluation program.

GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue said, “We’re excited to work with INTEC. INTEC’s experience in mission system architecture and integration will help GA-ASI to ensure that new capabilities for Gambit are produced on time and will be ready to meet the increasing demand for CCA from European nations.”

INTEC’s CEO Christoph Otten, added, “We are proud to partner with GA-ASI on one of the most important future airpower programs. By combining GA-ASI’s worldclass technology with INTEC’s expertise in system integration, sustainment, and operational support, we are committed to delivering tangible value to the German CCA program and strengthening long-term mission readiness.”
