Predator C Avenger

The Predator C Avenger, developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc., represents a leap forward in remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) technology. This next-generation multi-mission ISR platform, which first took flight in April 2009, boasts a jet-powered design with a Pratt & Whitney turbofan engine, enabling high-speed operations and rapid response capabilities. With an increased wingspan of 76 feet and enhanced fuel capacity, the Avenger ER (Extended Range) version extends its endurance to over 20 hours, allowing for prolonged missions. Capable of operating at altitudes exceeding 50,000 feet and speeds up to 400 KTAS, the Avenger ER excels in wide-area surveillance, time-sensitive strike missions, and various military or civilian applications. Its robust payload capacity includes a 3,000-pound internal weapons bay and multiple sensor mounts, making it highly effective in high-threat environments and strategic operations without risking human life.
