Complementing this capability, SENER will leverage its proven engineering experience to optimize and synergize Predator B data collection in support of the customer. The team will create high-technology jobs in the rapidly growing field of RPA for the people of Spain.
Andrés Sendagorta, vice president of SENER, expressed: “It is an honor for SENER to partner with General Atomics Aeronautical Systems to support the Predator B supply to the Spanish Government. At the same time, it is a source of satisfaction to make available for the Spanish Ministry of Defense our experience and technological capabilities in this challenging project to implement the first system of this kind that will be operating in Spain.”
