Protector Training for First RAF Cohort Begins at GA-ASI’s FTTC

SAN DIEGO, CA, May 4, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – On May 1, 2023, the Royal Air Force (RAF) began training its first cohort of pilots, sensor operators, and mission intelligence coordinators on operating its new Protector Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) at the Flight Test & Training Center (FTTC) in Grand Forks, N.D. The FTTC is owned and operated by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), which has begun deliveries of Protector RPAS to the RAF. Protector is a derivative of the MQ-9B SkyGuardian(R) and is initially being flown in the USA for training.

GA-ASI is training the first four Operational Conversion Units (OCUs), each comprising eight crews, including pilots, sensor operators (SOs), and mission intelligence coordinators (MICs). Upon completion, the crews will operate the Protector Air system as part of 31, 54 or 56 Sqn. Training for the pilots and SOs is scheduled to run for 12 weeks; six weeks for MICs.

The scope of the training is focused on foundational skills required to operate the Protector air vehicle and its equipment, including the Multi-Spectral Targeting System (MTS), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Mission Intelligence Station (MIS), and System for Tasking and Real-Time Exploitation (STARE). Training involves building solid foundations for both normal and emergency operations in Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems, instrument flying, and Automatic Takeoff and Landing Capability (ATLC).

The training includes simulation and live flight of the air vehicle. The synthetic training includes a desktop procedural trainer and a mission trainer.

"The training services performed at our Grand Forks center for the RAF represent an important benchmark for future MQ-9B training for other partners," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander.

MQ-9B has garnered significant interest from customers throughout the world. After the UK Ministry of Defence selected MQ-9B SkyGuardian for its Protector program, the Belgian Ministry of Defence signed a contract for SkyGuardian. The Japan Coast Guard is currently operating MQ-9B in the SeaGuardian(R) configuration, which the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) also recently selected for its Medium-Altitude, Long-Endurance (MALE) RPAS Trial Operation Project that began in April. Additionally, the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) signed a contract for three MQ-9B SkyGuardians, becoming the first U.S. customer for those aircraft.

Global ‘Rules of the Road’ Included in Landmark Update to Space Safety Best Practices

EXTON, PA, Apr 4, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – An international coalition of industry and government satellite operators, launch vehicle and spacecraft manufacturers, SSA companies, and other space stakeholders today announced an important update to its landmark set of best practice guidelines and expected norms of behavior in space, establishing a new set of "rules of the road" for coordination of space operations. The Space Safety Coalition (SSC) published an enhanced version of its "Best Practices for the Sustainability of Space Operations" (SSC Best Practices) document to address emerging safety and sustainability concerns more proactively in the space environment. The practices provide a model framework of topics that are critical to address for space safety.

"The SSC's new guidelines are particularly important given today's rapidly increasing risk of collisions," said Dan Oltrogge, SSC founder and administrator. "Best practices spanning all phases of the spacecraft life cycle must keep pace as our use of and reliance upon space ever deepens."

Founded in 2019, the SSC was established to evolve, maintain, and promote a set of best practices for safe space operations. The updated best practices incorporate recent updates to international guidelines and standards from several international governing bodies, including the UN, IADC, ISO, and CCSDS. The revised practices improve specific guidance for launch vehicle and spacecraft disposal upon mission completion and add recommendations for cybersecurity, spacecraft anomaly root cause assessment, and prevention of intentional collision or fragmentation events.

"These best practices clearly set aspirational targets to encourage all space actors to advance towards a safer, more responsible and sustainable use of space," said Charles Law, Sr. Manager of Flight Dynamics at SES. "Importantly, these best practices seek to stop intentional collisions and fragmentations, and it is encouraging to see a framework to coordinate between maneuverable satellites and to exchange orbit information."

To date, 27 industry representatives from the commercial space community have endorsed the updated guidelines, including manufacturers, launch providers, spacecraft operators, consultants, foundations, mission extension, active debris removal service providers, commercial SSA companies, and insurers.

"At Planet Labs, the operator of the largest fleet of Earth observation satellites in orbit, we care deeply about safe and sustainable space operations and are proud to endorse these community-led best practices around data sharing and responsible operations, which will help preserve low earth orbit as a global commons for all operators," said James Mason, SVP of Space Systems at Planet Labs PBC.

"Negotiation to build consensus around norms like these are crucial to safeguard space systems," said Luc Riesbeck, SSC assistant administrator and a policy research analyst at Astroscale U.S. "We welcome interested stakeholders to participate in this unique coalition to improve the state of the art for space operations safety. Responsible space behavior means you never stop setting new benchmarks – but at the same time, you ensure that the result is meaningful, actionable guidance that operators around the globe can begin putting in place right away."

About the SSC

The Space Safety Coalition (SSC) is an international organization of satellite operators, government entities, industry representatives, and other key stakeholders that actively promote responsible space safety through the adoption and development of international standards, guidelines, and practices. Established in 2019, the SSC develops and publishes a set of orbit regime-agnostic best practices for the long-term sustainability of space operations. These best practices are applicable to all spacecraft regardless of constellation or physical size or orbital regime. SSC's international guidelines directly address many aspects of the 21 consensus Long-Term Sustainability (LTS) guidelines approved by the United Nations Committee for the Peaceful Use of Outer Space (UN COPUOS) in June 2019.

The Summit at Lan Space Concludes Successfully

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND, Jun 2, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – A week of powerful conversations, immersive activities, and headline performances featured The Summit at Lan Space (www.thelan.space) as one of the most prominent events on the promenade, where some of the brightest minds around the globe were brought together during the annual Economic Meeting in Davos.

– Headline speakers like Deepak Chopra, Sian Proctor, Tessy De Nassau, Nik Gowing, Leonor Diaz Alcantara, and Helena Gualinga took center stage to advocate for audiences to keep collaboration, empathy, and empowerment at the forefront of their leadership in seismic times.
– Over five days, a platform was designed for innovative thinking with discussions converging on some of the most crucial conversations of our times: deglobalization and new geopolitical balances, disruptive decentralization in the age of Web3.0, solidarity in sustainability, and the future of leadership.

With the rugged snow-capped setting of the Swiss Alps transformed by the picturesque view of the mountain meadows in May, last week the participation of more than 200 impact investors and 1000 delegates at The Lan Space successfully concluded five days of thought-provoking panel discussions and live performances in Davos, Switzerland, during the annual economic meeting.

This year Davos was different not only because of the change of scenic backdrops but more so because of the lack of global cooperation to solve the most pressing issues of our current and future generations. With the turbulent aftermath of Covid-19 and its resulting rise of inequality, coupled with the climate crisis and the geopolitical turmoil following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the agenda-setting conversations that happened at the Lan Space throughout the week of May 20-26 focused on moving the needle in crucial areas such as cultural leadership, trust in and safety in the coming Web3.0, and regenerative solutions for the planet.

"The road of social injustice and mental distress is what leads to extinction. The other road, currently less traveled, is that of conscious choice-making in communities which could lead to a more peaceful, sustainable, and healthier world. As we explore consciousness, I hope that is the road that we'll take, but it requires diligence and continued expansion of conversations like these," commented Deepak Chopra after his discussion at the Lan Space about the spiritual codes of success.

Influential minds, globally renowned experts, and visionary changemakers, such as the Inspiration4 astronaut, Dr. Sian Proctor, UNAids ambassador, Tessy De Nassau, CEO of the Montessori Group, Leonor Diaz Alcantara, Chairman of Constellation Research, R Ray Wang, CEO of Ambika Inc., Aron Dutta, and indigenous rights activist, Helena Gualinga, also took to the stage to share their unique perspectives during interactive panel discussions that left the empowered and inspired.

Top Tier Impact, the global ecosystem of sustainable leaders and official partner of the World Economic Forum also used the Lan Space to host their private Global Impact Awards ceremony celebrating entrepreneurs who are building a new paradigm for the planet.

Guest speaker Tessy De Nassau, UN Aids ambassador and Woman of the Decade, said, "What I really loved [at the Lan Space] was the conversation around what our leadership is lacking today. We need to start learning about what it means to lead with empathy and what it takes to become that leader."

Another highlight of the event was a keynote panel with the astronaut Dr. Sian Proctor, pilot of the Inspiration4 mission, Christina Korp, Director of Space For A Better World, Rafal Modrzewski, CEO of ICEYE, and Fatema Hamdani, CEO of Kraus Hamdani Aerospace. "It is critical to talk about how space can advance a more equal and sustainable life here on Earth," commented Dr. Proctor. "As we push humanity to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, we are also creating the needed innovations to solve some of Earth's most challenging problems. I was honored to talk about how space will help us meet the UN SDGs at the Lan Space in Davos, we need more of those conversations."

Closing the summit on the topic of leadership for the future generations to thrive, Leonor Diaz Alcantara, CEO of the Montessori Group summed up that, "Sustainable change is dependent on quality education now. The social problems the world is facing are problems that need long-term solutions and will require generations to implement and commit to resolving. If we do not prepare future generations now, by teaching them the skills and mindset they will need, any solutions will only be short term."

The summit saw no shortage of enthralling evening events and artistic performances too. Among the highlights of the week, there were sensorial dinners cooked on the venue's terrace by celebrity chef for the British Royal household, Khalid Dahbi, breathtaking bubbleology shows by Guinness world-record holder SamSam Bubbleman, and live DJ sets by globally recognized artists like NINJA, Francesco Mami, 3D Punk, Renato Oliveira, and the multi-platinum singer Alex Hepburn.

Lan Tschirky, Founder of Lan to Capital and visionary of the summit said: "We were beyond thrilled to welcome some of the brightest minds of our world to our space this week. I hope our guests left Davos inspired and with a sense of empowerment for what can come next if we keep collaboration as a core value. We look forward to showcasing more of our portfolio such as LAN Health and Havona, further welcoming impactful partners, brands, and start-ups to our venue next year."
