General Atomics Launches New Drone Catapult System For Warships

General Atomics, fresh off of the long road to success implementing Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) for the US Navy’s Ford-Class of aircraft carrier is now offering the system to interested international navies to build at scale to support drones. EMALS and AAG offer a simpler system to launch aircraft, which means that ships as small as destroyers and sea base ships can use the system to launch low maintenance drones.
