The company-owned aircraft was photographed at Royal Air Force (RAF) Waddington in England on 25 August, ahead of a planned series of operational capability demonstrations for NATO allies, including the Netherlands.
During its stay, the SkyGuardian will participate in the multinational exercises, demonstrating in particular its maritime role in the SeaGuardian configuration that includes a multimode maritime surface-search radar with an inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging mode (the mechanically scanned Raytheon SeaVue X-Band radar is the incumbent system, with GA-ASI set to shortly offer the Leonardo Seaspray 7500E V2 active electronically scanned array [AESA] radar also), as well as an Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver to locate, identify, and track shipping.
