General Atomics chasing Avenger sale to international customer

By Mike Tyler

August 22, 2017 - U.S. defence contractor General Atomics is pursuing the potential sale of up to 90 Predator C Avenger unmanned aircraft to a foreign buyer.

International interest in the drone is believed to be led by India, following General Atomics’ recent development of an extended range (ER) variant with a larger wingspan and greater payload capacity.

Only eight of the jet-powered Predator C models have been built, one of which remains a company testbed while another is operated by the U.S. Air Force. The rest are operated by unnamed U.S. agencies for classified missions.
