SAN DIEGO, CA, Mar 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) achieved another major milestone in the development of Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs) by flying U.S. government-provided autonomy software aboard a company-owned MQ-20 Avenger®. The demonstration was part of the Air Force Test Center's all-domain test series called Orange Flag 25-1, which took place Feb. 19-21 at Edwards Air Force Base, California.The demonstration included the use of a government-provided Pilot Vehicle Interface (PVI), showcasing GA-ASI's commitment to advancing its UCAV ecosystem through collaboration with partners and government entities and integrating cutting-edge technologies. Avenger is a jet-powered UAS used extensively by GA-ASI as a test bed for future Autonomous Collaborative Platforms.GA-ASI also demonstrated the ability to rapidly swap between autonomy systems midflight over Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) satellites utilizing an autonomy product from Shield AI.Orange Flag 25-1 is part of the larger Orange Flag Evaluation and Demonstration Event series. This event brought together various stakeholders to test and validate advanced aerospace technologies in realistic operational scenarios.The government-provided autonomy software - known as a reference autonomy stack - was integrated into the GA-ASI Avenger and demonstrated autonomous flight operation capabilities focused on conducting air-to-air engagements. The government-provided PVI enabled seamless control and monitoring of the autonomy stack, highlighting the interoperability and flexibility of GA-ASI's UCAV ecosystem. The Shield AI stack demonstrated autonomy skills for safe administrative phases of flight.What the flights proved was that GA-ASI aircraft can quickly go from company-written software, to government-provided, to other vendors' software as needed. This reinforces that the new generations of GA-ASI's UCAVs can seamlessly get upgrades as fast as developers finish them.

中國結象徵老師/學生（從簡單到複雜的形狀，從淺藍色到深藍色，過程象徵著自我提升）。我欣賞這句名言中隱約的優雅。它謙遜、純粹、不浮華，帶著一股書生氣質，帶著善意與魅力。現在聽起來可能有些幼稚和理想化，但這正是我想從這件珠寶中表達的。最佳整體美感獎得獎設計名稱︰Contemplation設計師︰Mariia EFIMOVA （俄羅斯）類別︰戒指作品描述*：在這個一切都發生得太快的世界裡，美麗已是司空見慣。我們經常被外在所誘惑。但內在有時傳遞的信息更為豐富。「Contemplation」邀請大家停下來，提醒大家真正的美麗存在於內心中。表二：第二十六屆香港珠寶設計比賽部分得獎作品公開組大獎兼工藝技術獎作品名稱︰浪漫與經典設計師︰謝嘉榮類別︰戒指作品描述*：珠寶與名畫的關係密不可分，有著相同的淵源，設計師汲取了印象派畫家莫內作品《睡蓮》的元素，運用珠寶藝術完美展現經典名畫的浪漫與典雅。公開組大獎作品名稱︰維多利亞-蝶光設計師︰陳詠朗類別︰戒指作品描述*：在維多利亞港的景色中，化為一隻巨蝶，展翅高飛，閃爍著五光十色的光影。幻蝶如夢，傳遞人們對未來的憧憬與渴望。每次翅膀扇動，都是對生命的讚歌。最後，幻蝶化了光境，吸引世人駐足凝望，心隨之飛翔，共同編織那份對美好的追尋。成為夢的起點，綻放無盡可能。公開組大獎作品名稱︰童趣設計師︰周天怡類別︰吊墜/胸針作品描述*：沙漏承載童年的夢，每一粒夜光沙如星塵滑落，捕捉時間的流逝與珍貴，將希望與光芒封存其中。吊墜可拆卸的設計，賦予自由更換彩沙或香氛沙的可能，增添珠寶獨特魅力與個性。在流動的光影間，見證永恆與夢想的閃耀。學生組冠軍作品名稱︰藍韻花語設計師︰劉康藍就讀學校︰香港理工大學類別︰戒指作品描述*：藍色白花青的青花瓷不僅是一種美的體現，更是時間的沈澱和中華文化的延續。將其藍白相映和紋飾繁複的特點融入珠寶設計中，表達了青花瓷恆久的吸引力和隨著時間流逝依然閃耀的特質。學生組亞軍作品名稱︰聖華設計師︰麥泳梅就讀學校︰聖方濟各大學類別︰耳環作品描述*：耳環靈感源自教堂的神聖，造型勾勒出尖塔穹頂的典雅輪廓。穹頂上的十字架象徵著永恆的祝福，中央垂掛的紫色寶石猶如聖光在人間綻放，搭配色彩斑斕的琺瑯，就像教堂彩繪玻璃在陽光下的璀璨光華。每片琺瑯都象徵著信仰的力量，散發出持久而迷人的色彩。學生組季軍作品名稱︰紅鹽設計師︰劉卓禮就讀學校︰港專學院類別︰手鍊/項鍊作品描述*：作品名取自蘇軾《橄欖》的「紛紛青子落紅鹽」，當中的紅鹽有成熟橄欖之意。紅鹽落下後便不再使用樹的養分，果中的種子重新發芽生長。橄欖樹四季長青，開花結果，周而復始，光華不息，宛如代代相傳的家族瑰寶。*資料由得獎者提供「第七屆國際珠寶設計大獎」完整得獎名單：https://hkjewellery.hktdc.com/pdf/2025/IJDEA2025.pdf「第二十六屆香港珠寶設計比賽」完整得獎名單：https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkjewellery/tc/the-26th-hong-kong-jewellery-design-competition-result-announcement由香港貿易發展局主辦的第41屆香港國際珠寶展今日於灣仔會展隆重開幕，連同於亞博館舉行的第11屆香港國際鑽石、寶石及珍珠展，共匯聚來自全球超過40個國家及地區，約4,000家參展商。珠寶精粹廊展區內的維多利亞珠寶（展位：CEC GH-E08）以62卡祖母綠和逾3400顆寶石、鑽石等打造的「煙花套鏈」，重現煙花綻放多彩的時刻。日本展商Jewelry of Raden & Urushi（展位：CEC 1CON-016）在珠寶設計精選展區，帶來以18K 黃金、阿古屋珍珠、鑽石、珍珠母貝鑲嵌的龍造型胸針和吊墜。澳洲展商Autore Pearls Pty Ltd（展位：CEC GH-C32）展示的蛇形項鏈，鑲有珍珠、鑽石和寶石，活靈活現。今年珠寶展增設新晉珠寶設計師專區，為年輕設計師提供展示才華的平台。「第七屆國際珠寶設計大獎」一眾得獎者與嘉賓合照。「第二十六屆香港珠寶設計比賽」一眾得獎者與嘉賓合照。圖片下載︰https://bit.ly/3QI66F3展會資料：香港國際珠寶展展覽日期開放時間2025年3月4日（星期二）上午10時30分至下午6時30分2025年3月5日至7日（星期三至五）上午10時至下午6時30分2025年3月8日（星期六）上午10時至下午5時30分展覽地點灣仔博覽道1號香港會議展覽中心記者登記處及新聞中心新聞界代表請攜同名片及記者證到香港會議展覽中心展覽廳1D大堂，或到香港貿發局新聞中心（香港會議展覽中心博覽道入口──新翼地下）登記**香港國際鑽石、寶石及珍珠展展覽日期開放時間2025年3月2 (星期日)上午10時30分至下午6時30分2025年3月3至5日 (星期一至三)上午10時至下午6時30分2025年3月6日 (星期四)上午10時至下午5時30分展覽地點香港大嶼山香港國際機場亞洲國際博覽館記者登記處及新聞中心新聞界代表請攜同名片及記者證到亞洲國際博覽館東大堂入口（3號展館對面電梯旁），或到新聞中心（2樓201C會議室）登記****基於保安理由，記者須出示工作證及身份證或護照登記，方能辦理記者證，持大會發出記者證入場前，保安人員亦會要求出示身份證明文件，以確認身份。請預留足夠時間辦理記者證及入場。相關網頁 香港國際珠寶展香港國際鑽石、寶石及珍珠展展覽網頁http://hkjewelleryshow.hktdc.com/tchttp://hkdgp.hktdc.com/tc精選產品https://bit.ly/4hE1ifz兩展穿梭巴士安排https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkjewellery/tc/travel-to-fairground-hkcechttps://www.hktdc.com/event/hkdgp/tc/travel-to-fairground-awe展會活動https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkjewellery/tc/intelligence-hubhttps://www.hktdc.com/event/hkdgp/tc/intelligence-hub香港貿發局新聞中心：http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/tc傳媒查詢香港貿易發展局傳訊及公共事務部：夏妙婷電話：(852) 2584 4575電郵：sharon.mt.ha@hktdc.org張希汶電話：(852) 2584 4272電郵：serena.hm.cheung@hktdc.org劉茸電話：(852) 2584 4472電郵：clayton.y.lawuw@hktdc.org香港貿易發展局簡介香港貿易發展局(香港貿發局)是於1966年成立的法定機構，負責促進、協助和發展香港貿易。香港貿發局在世界各地設有超過50個辦事處，其中13個設於中國內地，致力推廣本港作為雙向環球投資及商業樞紐。 香港貿發局通過舉辦國際展覽會、會議及商貿考察團，為企業(尤其是中小企)開拓內地和環球市場的機遇。香港貿發局亦通過研究報告和數碼資訊平台，提供最新的市場分析和產品資訊。有關香港貿發局的其他資訊，請瀏覽www.hktdc.com/aboutus/tc。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

聖地亞哥, 2025年3月4日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 通用原子航空系統公司（GA-ASI）對美國空軍為其協同作戰飛機（Collaborative Combat Aircraft, CCA）授予的新編號表示歡迎：這款新型無人戰鬥機將被命名為 YFQ-42A。此次公告於週一發布，緊隨早前 2024 年美國空軍決定，由 GA-ASI 負責開發和製造 YFQ-42A 的決定之後。 "我們很自豪能獲得新的官方飛機編號，」GA-ASI 總裁 David R. Alexander 表示。 “YFQ-42A 延續了 GA-ASI 悠久而卓越的歷史，可追溯至 1990 年代 RQ-1 Predator® 的首次亮相，該機後來更名為 MQ-1 Predator。這款無人機開創了 MQ-9A Reaper®、MQ-20 Avenger®，以及我們最新的 MQ-9B SkyGuardian® 和 SeaGuardian®，還有眾多其他機型。”"這些飛機代表了一段無與倫比的歷史，展現了可靠、高性能的無人作戰平台，滿足了美國作戰人員的需求，並為空中力量的新時代指明了方向。”美國空軍將 YFQ-42A 選定為 GA-ASI 協同作戰飛機（CCA）原型機的任務設計系列（MDS），這標誌著新一代無人戰鬥機的誕生。YFQ-42A 在未來衝突中對於聯合部隊的空中優勢至關重要，它將利用自主作戰能力和有人-無人協同作戰模式，在爭奪制空權的複雜環境中戰勝敵方威脅。美國空軍正在開發自主協同作戰平台（Autonomous Collaborative Platforms），以保持其空中優勢。像 YFQ-42A 這樣的半自主飛機將提升作戰靈活性、降低成本並提高任務執行效率。作為一款靈活且經濟高效的作戰倍增器，YFQ-42A 將進一步增強空中優勢。它旨在與當前及下一代有人駕駛飛機無縫集成，擴展任務能力，確保持續的空中主導地位。簡而言之，YFQ-42A 以更低的成本和符合威脅環境的時間框架，為戰鬥機部隊提供可負擔的大規模戰力。YFQ-42A 的命名繼承了美國空軍先前對 GA-ASI 的 XQ-67A 遠程感測站（Off-Board Sensing Station）的命名決策。 XQ-67A 由空軍研究實驗室訂購，用於支援 CCA 策略實施所需概念的開發。在美國空軍的命名系統中，"X" 代表用於測試和實驗的飛機，"Y" 代表初步生產代表機型，通常用於正式專案立項前，"F" 代表戰鬥機，"Q" 表示無人機。當生產代表機型進入正式生產階段，"Y" 字母將從前綴中移除。GA-ASI 將在 2025 年 3 月 3 日至 5 日於空戰研討會（Air Warfare Symposium）期間，在 #1003 展位展示 YFQ-42A 的六分之一比例模型。關於通用原子公司（GA） 通用原子公司是一家國防與多元技術企業，GA及其附屬公司業務遍及五大洲。GA附屬公司生產無人機及空中、太空與海上監視系統、光學通信、數據分析、航空母艦彈射與潛艇系統。GA亦是核聚變研究、下一代核裂變及先進材料技術的領先企業。欲了解更多信息，請訪問 www.ga-asi.com 。Avenger、Grey Eagle、Lynx、Predator、Reaper、SeaGuardian 和 SkyGuardian 是 General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. 在美國和/或其他國家註冊的商標。聯絡資訊GA-ASI 媒體關係asi-mediarelations@ga-asi.com 來源: General Atomics Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
