Mark Brinkley, senior director of communications at General Atomics Aeronautical Systems told Defense News at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2024\/02\/19\/us-singapore-air-forces-to-team-up-at-vital-pacific-base-in-guam\/\">Singapore Airshow<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt would be designed to be used with our aircraft, though podded systems can often also be used with other aircraft as well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent days, the American drone manufacturer has emphasized how committed it is to strengthening its presence in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the first day of the Airshow, organized here from Feb. 19-23, the firm announced that they are collaborating with Japanese partners to advance the development of technologies \u201cin the maritime security, nuclear energy, and rare earth elements sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Japan Coast Guard and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force have been trialing the MQ-9B SeaGuardian drone for surveillance missions since last year. Japan\u2019s Defense Minister Minoru Kihara said that the government plans to expand the scope of the testing period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From July to September the MQ-9B will operate from Kanoya Air Base on Japan\u2019s southern tip, and a simulated surveillance crisis over the East China Sea will be conducted on three different occasions as part of the tests, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brinkley said that the company welcomes the tests, suggesting the drones had been performing well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSeaGuardian is really going to open up Indo-Pacific monitoring efforts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for eventually purchasing MQ-9B drone, Brinkley said the state of negotiations was \u201cadvanced.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csis.org\/analysis\/japans-new-defense-buildup-plan-and-its-defense-industrial-base\"><u>report<\/u><\/a> published last year by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies highlights that one of the thrusts of Japan\u2019s Defense Buildup Plan, approved in 2022, is to broaden research and development activities and projects with international partners to boost the country\u2019s technological base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked whether General Atomics\u2019 new investments in the Japanese nuclear-energy and rare-earth sectors were connected to possible future defense contracts, Brinkley said that the company was interested in a \u201cholistic\u201d relationship with Tokyo. \u201cOur defense efforts certainly open doors for conversations in other areas,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company has struck a partnership with Tokyo spanning civilian and defense
