General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI) described further progress toward fielding the Certifiable Predator B (CPB), a new version of the MQ-9 Reaper. Coincidentally, the UK Ministry of Defence confirmed the choice of the CPB to meet its future UAS requirement named Protector and began negotiations through the U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) process for a contract that could be worth as much as $600 million.
