HONG KONG, Feb 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala concluded with a spectacular display that served as a global collective debut for China’s robotics industry. On a stage shared by millions, companies such as Unitree Robotics, Magic Atom Robotics, Galbot, and Songyan Dynamics showcased the peak of domestic engineering and embodied intelligence. All of these companies are either invested in or deeply positioned within the robotics portfolio of Shoucheng Holdings Limited (0697.HK).This showcase, described by industry observers as the "Chinese Embodied Intelligence Parade," signaled the industry’s imminent transition into large-scale commercialization. As a national-level flagship event, the Gala serves as a barometer of technological readiness. The simultaneous appearance of multiple portfolio companies highlights Shoucheng Holdings’ industrial standing and marks a strategic pivot from the validation stage to the harvest phase.Systematic Deployment: Building a Robust Industry-Chain StructureShoucheng Holdings’ investment logic extends beyond simply picking star startups. Instead, it has constructed a systematic framework covering the most critical nodes of the robotics industry chain:Full-Machine Manufacturing and Scalability: Represented by Unitree Robotics, focusing on engineering maturity and the capability for large-scale commercial production.Embodied Intelligence Systems: Represented by Galbot, focusing on the deep integration of AI and hardware—the brain-body coordination that defines the future of the industry.Core Engineering and Power Systems: Represented by Songyan Dynamics, diving deep into the underlying power systems and mechanical components that provide the foundation for all robotic movement.This multi-layered approach—covering Full Machine, Systems, and Components—provides the portfolio with both growth elasticity and structural stability against market volatility.2026 Inflection Point: Driving Value Re-ratingFrom a financial perspective, Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics returns are shifting from incremental growth to structural explosion, driven by two core catalysts:First Catalyst is Valuation Re-rating through Industrial Leadership: As robotics moves from laboratory concepts to real-world delivery, companies with proven execution are seeing significant valuation uplifts. The national-level endorsement of the Spring Festival Gala has solidified these companies' market-leader status, generating positive feedback in financing and orders. According to market data, projects such as Galbot and X Square Robotics have already generated absolute investment returns exceeding 10x in recent financing rounds.Second catalyst is The "IPO Harvest Year" of the Capital Cycle: 2026 is poised to be the year when Shoucheng’s long-term bets move into concentrated realization. Unitree Robotics is currently in the final stages of IPO counseling and is expected to become the flagship robotics IPO of China. Analysts estimate that approximately four robotics companies within the portfolio will launch or complete their IPO processes within the year. As these assets move from private to public markets, the pricing logic will shift from technological speculation to performance-driven liquidity premiums.Scenario Closed-Loop: Evolving into an "Industrial Orchestrator"Beyond capital deployment, Shoucheng Holdings’ most forward-looking move is the construction of a commercialization closed-loop. The company is leveraging its deep resources in core commercial districts, smart parking networks, and medical parks to provide high-frequency application scenarios for its portfolio companies.Global Debut of the Robotics Service ComplexIn February 2026, Shoucheng Holdings officially launched the world’s first Integrated Robotics Service Complex in Shougang Park. This facility integrates experience, sales, maintenance, and service, marking Shoucheng’s transition from a pure investor to a deep industrial operator and "scenario orchestrator."Scenario Empowerment through "Taozhu New Creation Hub"This commercial pathway is being accelerated through the Taozhu New Creation Hub brand. By creating a path from stage exposure to offline experience and livestream conversion, Shoucheng is turning high-tech innovations into tangible consumer products. This model allows the company to capture not only equity appreciation but also stable commission and service-based cash flows, shifting toward efficiency-driven growth.Shoucheng Holdings has evolved far beyond a traditional financial investor to become an Industrial Resource Integrator and Scenario Orchestrator. Through its Capital + Scenario + Platform model, the company has built a multi-dimensional return structure. As 2026 marks the first year of large-scale robotic commercialization, Shoucheng’s years of strategic accumulation are reaching a point of resonance, triggering a comprehensive re-rating of its market value.

SINGAPORE, Feb 19, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Asia’s largest food retailers, manufacturers, restaurant chains, and hospitality groups remain behind international better practice on sustainable and responsible protein sourcing, but progress is accelerating across the region, according to The Asian Protein Buyers 100: An Assessment of Responsible and Sustainable Sourcing released today by Asia Research & Engagement (ARE). The APB100 is a benchmark based on investor-backed priorities - assessing how 100 of Asia’s largest listed protein-buying companies — headquartered or operating across Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mainland China, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam — manage environmental, social, and governance risks embedded in meat, dairy, poultry, and seafood supply chains. Collectively, the companies assessed represent more than USD500 billion in market capitalisation and sit at the choke point of Asia’s protein system, where procurement decisions shape production standards, risk management and food-system outcomes.The companies assessed include some of Asia’s most recognisable food and retail groups. These include China Mengniu Dairy, Yili Group, Yonghui and Yum China (Mainland China); AEON, Seven & I Holdings, Meiji, Nissin and NH Foods (Japan); CJ CheilJedang, Lotte and E-Mart (South Korea); Charoen Pokphand Foods and Thai Union (Thailand); Jollibee, Century Pacific Food and San Miguel Food & Beverage (Philippines); Vinamilk (Vietnam); and Hindustan Lever, Nestle India, Jubilant, Devyani, DMart, Westlife Foodworld (McDonald’s India) (India), among others.Scores are improving, but the baseline remains lowNow in its second edition, the benchmark shows clear momentum since 2023 — but also highlights that most companies remain at an early stage of credible implementation.The average overall score increased from 9% in 2023 to 16% in 2025, with around 80% of companies improving year-on-year. More than half of comparable companies moved up at least one performance tier.However, no company reached the top two performance tiers, underscoring a persistent gap between sustainability commitments and on-the-ground execution.A growing group of leaders is emergingThe number of companies in the leading Tier 3 group more than doubled from 10 in 2023 to 26 in 2025, while the lowest-scoring group halved from 44 to 21 companies.Progress, however, remains uneven and concentrated among a subset of early movers and sustainability themes, while a significant minority of companies continues to disclose little or nothing across several material risk areas.Climate, labour, and waste are moving fastestCompanies performed strongest on Water & Waste, Labour , and Climate Change, reflecting wider uptake of international disclosure frameworks and growing expectations around supply-chain due diligence.Climate and labour show the fastest improvement since 2023, driven by emerging regulatory pressure and investor scrutiny, particularly around Scope 3 emissions and labour standards in supply chains.Governance and protein diversification remain critical gapsSeveral material risk areas continue to show weak performance. Governance in relation to protein sustainability, remains the lowest-scoring theme, averaging just 4.5%, with most companies scoring zero. Few have board-approved protein sustainability strategies, capital allocation plans, or accountability mechanisms.Protein diversification also remains underdeveloped at 7.4%, indicating that most companies have yet to articulate how they will shift product portfolios toward truly low carbon plant proteins at scale.Disclosures on deforestation and biodiversity, animal welfare, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) also remain thin and rarely quantified. The intersection of climate and deforestation is still not being duly harnessed. Similarly, policies and procurement practices that strengthen animal welfare and enable antibiotic reduction remain a low point, with average animal welfare performance at just 14.1% and only one company aligned with recognised higher-welfare standards or independently certified disclosure.Why this matters: Asia is the decisive region for global protein systemsCompared with innovative international peers, many of Asia’s protein buyers remain behind on deforestation-free sourcing, antibiotic stewardship, higher-welfare policies and procurement, plant-protein targets and science-based climate transition planning.However, Asia now represents the most important opportunity for global leadership in responsible protein systems. And with less than five years to implement meaningful change towards various 2030 United Nations and related targets, the vision of a more responsible and sustainable food system is at risk.“Asia is the world’s fastest-growing protein market, which means what happens here will determine the future of global food systems,” said Kate Blaszak, ARE Director, Protein Transition. “ThisAPB100 shows that disclosure and awareness are improving and aims to trigger a shift from Policy to Practice. With a realm of better practice examples in the report to also assist companies, the next phase must focus on full supply-chain coverage, measurable targets, and annual progress with board-level accountability.”Download the APB100 Report HERE.About Asia Research & Engagement (ARE)ARE brings leading investors into dialogue with Asian-listed companies to address sustainable development challenges and help companies align with investor priorities.

ARE report finds JSW Energy and Tata Power best positioned for firm-power era; NTPC’s execution critical as coal economics tightenSINGAPORE / NEW DELHI, INDIA, Feb 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - India’s power sector is entering a decisive new phase as electricity demand surges, peak loads hit record highs, and the country moves toward its 500GW non-fossil capacity target by 2030 post a record 52GW capacity added in FY26But the next chapter of the transition will not be defined by installed capacity alone.  A new report by Asia Research & Engagement (ARE), Powering Net Zero: Pathways to Clean Energy for India’s Utility Companies, finds that the market is shifting toward firm, dispatchable and availability-linked power — creating clear divergence among India’s largest listed utilities.  The analysis identifies:  JSW Energy and Tata Power as best placed to monetise the transition, combining contracted renewable growth, storage depth and improving cashflow quality. Adani Green Energy remains the fastest capacity scaler with strong long-term visibility, though storage integration remains at an early stage. NTPC, India’s largest generator, retains unmatched scale and sovereign-backed financing, but its transition outcomes hinge on execution speed and managing coal’s declining role.Adani Power remains predominantly thermal, with limited exposure to the structural upside from renewables and storage.  The report also highlights tightening coal economics. While new ultra-supercritical coal plants clear bids at INR5. 5–6 per kWh, effective delivered costs rise materially once utilisation, fuel volatility and compliance costs are factored in. By comparison, round-the-clock and storage-backed renewable projects are clearing between INR2.7–5.1 per kWh with availability guarantees embedded in contracts.  “The debate is no longer coal versus renewables,” said Arun Kumar, Strategic Advisor for Power Markets & Technology Innovation at ARE and lead author of the report. “As procurement shifts toward round-the-clock supply, reliability and execution — not just megawatts — will determine competitive advantage.”   “While this ARE study highlights significant momentum across the sector, it also identifies areas where sharper strategic clarity, improved contracting frameworks, and stronger delivery capabilities will be essential to meeting India’s long-term decarbonisation goals.”   For deeper analysis and complete assessment, download the complete report HERE. About Asia Research & Engagement (ARE)ARE brings leading investors into dialogue with Asian-listed companies to address sustainable development challenges and help companies align with investor priorities.

Highlights:Yellow Cat uranium and vanadium exploration drilling program to commence;The program aims to confirm the mineralization extends for 4,500m between known Uranium and Vanadium historical workings;Sampling has yielded values up to 10.33% U3O8 and 25.6% V2O5;Drilling contractor selected and program to commence in early March.BRISBANE, AUS, Feb 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Anson Resources Ltd (ASX:ASN) ("Anson" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that its wholly owned Utah-based subsidiary, UV1 Minerals LLC, will commence a targeted exploration drilling program at the Yellow Cat Uranium-Vanadium Project located in the Thompson District of southeastern Utah, USA.Under the approved program, drilling is scheduled to begin in early March 2026 and will test a strike length of approximately 2,500 metres of uranium and vanadium mineralisation along historical trends between known workings. Previous surface sampling has confirmed significant uranium mineralisation, including values up to 10.33% U3O8 and 25.61% V2O5, affirming the prospectivity of the project area.The program will include multiple shallow drillholes to verify and extend known mineralised zones, with diamond coring supporting detailed assaying and future resource definition. The Company's objective is to confirm that the mineralisation continues between historical mining locations and to lay the groundwork for subsequent resource evaluation activities.Executive Chairman and CEO, Bruce Richardson, said:"Commencing drilling at Yellow Cat marks a key exploration milestone for Anson's U.S. portfolio. This program builds on strong historical data and our confidence in the project's potential to host additional uranium and vanadium mineralisation. We look forward to providing results in the near future."Strategic Importance of UraniumThis drilling initiative comes at an exciting juncture for uranium globally and particularly in the United States. Uranium, the fundamental fuel for nuclear power, has recently been reinstated on the U.S. Critical Minerals List, reflecting its growing importance to national energy security and supply chain resilience.The resurgence of interest in nuclear energy is driven by several critical policy and market factors:U.S. Government Focus on Critical Minerals: The 2025 Critical Minerals List reinstatement recognises uranium's strategic role, aligning federal support and incentives towards domestic fuel supply development and reducing reliance on foreign sources.Nuclear Power Expansion: With increasing electricity demand from the expansion of Data Centers and AI applications, nuclear power is gaining renewed emphasis as critical component of a diversified energy mix to support the power grid. Projects to restart existing reactors and build new advanced reactors underline the importance of secure domestic uranium supply.Regional Alignment - Utah: The State of Utah has actively positioned itself as a critical minerals hub, supported by state leaders and regulatory frameworks that encourage responsible nuclear power and critical minerals development. The presence of the White Mesa Mill, the only conventional uranium/vanadium processing facility currently operating in the U.S., enhances infrastructure synergies for projects like Yellow Cat.This combination of federal and state priorities dovetails strongly with Anson's exploration activities, underscoring the potential for both economic and strategic value creation as domestic uranium supply gains renewed momentum.Drilling Down on Yellow CatThis drilling program located on the eastern block of the project area is along strike of the historical mineral resource, see ASX Announcement 4 February 2026, that was sourced from USGS reports*. The mineralisation is shallow or comes to the surface and as a result, the mineralised horizon is located above the water table which will result in shallow drilling and minimal disturbance. The Eastern claim block of the project contains a well-defined east-west striking zone of uranium and vanadium mineralisation at excellent grades. Table 1 shows a selection of the sample results collected during Anson's previous exploration programs. Anson plans to drill the mineralised trend from the Windy Point and McCoy Group to the Cactus Rat and Mineral Treasure mines. Drill depths will range from 12m to 40m. Diamond coring of some mineralized zones would allow both assaying for uranium, vanadium and associated minerals and metallurgical studies such as density interpretations that can be used in mineral resource calculations.The exploration program aims to confirm the uranium and vanadium mineralization continues between the two historical mining locations which is a strike length of 2,500m. If successful, further drilling programs will be designed to prove up mineral resources in the eastern area. In addition, an exploration program consisting of reverse circulation (RC) and diamond (DDH) drilling that twins historical drillholes in the central block is planned to confirm the assay results of the historical drillholes. Confirmation of the assay results would enable the historical resource to be possibly upgraded to a 2012 JORC mineral resource. Numerous open drillholes have been located which would allow new downhole surveys to be carried out reducing the cost of an extensive drilling program. The water table in this area appears to be relatively level with primary uranium/vanadium mineralization.Notes:1. Underground sample location coordinates are based on location of the closest underground adit. Ore pad grad samples location coordinates are for the ore pad sampled.2. Conversion of uranium (U) to uranium oxide (U3O8) is by factor of 1.179.3. Conversion of vanadium (V) to vanadium oxide (V2O5) is by a factor of 1.785.*Mobley, C.M & Santos, E.S., 1956, Exploration For Uranium Deposits in the Yellow Cat and Saw Park Areas, Thompson District, Grand County, Utah: U.S Geological Survey Trace Elements Investigations Report 448 United States Department of the Interior Geological Survey. *Alvord, D.C, 1952, Interim Report on Exploration in the Yellow Cat Area, Grand County, Utah.

香港, 2026年2月13日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近日，天瞳威視宣佈，其基於地平線J6B Plus晶片打造的智能駕駛行泊一體域控制器解決方案，斬獲上海知名車企五款車型量產定點。值得關注的是，此次定點並非單一車型的淺層合作，而是規模達近百萬台級別的深度綁定，其中還包含一款海外車型，證明該方案已具全球化適配與規模化交付實力。儘管地平線官方尚未公佈其J6B Plus的確切算力資訊，但根據其將J6B系列定位為最具性價比的解決方案來推測，J6B Plus 算力預計仍處於20TOPS級別區間，與J6B算力水平基本持平。這一算力區間也是行業競爭比較激烈的"賽場"。但紙面算力趨同並不意味著技術落地能力等價，天瞳威視憑藉算力優化、自研技術創新及工程化落地能力，走出了一條差異化破局之路。一、20TOPS算力效率突圍：核心技術解析與行泊一體差異化路徑從行業視角觀察，天瞳威視能在20TOPS級算力下實現中高階智駕功能，同時滿足不同車型適配需求，背後是其算力精准降耗的差異化競爭優勢，為方案百萬台量產及海外落地提供了技術支撐。據公號資訊，該方案的核心技術基石，源於天瞳威視構建的Transformer BEV 融合地平線的Sparse4D前視感知架構。通過對感測器信息進行高效的稀疏化融合與連續時序建模，在動態障礙物跟蹤、複雜路口結構化理解以及突發性占道場景中，實現了精准識別與穩定回應，這使得系統不僅能"看清"道路，更能"理解"交通流的動態意圖，從而在實際高頻複雜場景中，系統的駕駛決策表現順暢、自然。同時，天瞳威視完全自主研發的基於BEV(鳥瞰圖)的環視感知算法，構成了系統的另一大感知支柱。它將車身四周多個攝影機的圖像資訊，实时轉化為車輛周圍統一、準確的俯視視角三維空間表達。這項能力不僅讓車輛對標準泊車位的識別穩定可靠，亦使其在面對低矮路沿、立柱、空中障礙物等傳統感知方案中的"長尾難題"時，提供更完整的環境理解支撐。從行業同梯隊方案對比來看，當前20-36TOPS中低算力行泊一體賽道呈現多元技術路徑，不同技術方案在算力需求、定位依賴、算法架構及場景適配方面形成鮮明差異，呈現出清晰的趨勢分化：一類方案依賴高精地圖與中高算力晶片，雖能實現高階功能，但地圖成本與更新壓力大，且難以下沉至主流價格帶；另一類方案側重低算力基礎功能，高階泊車、高速NOA等功能需升級高算力平台，感測器冗余設計推高硬件成本；還有一類方案以中高算力結合端到端算法，技術前瞻但成本居高不下，無法適配大眾車型。而天瞳威視的路徑則跳出這一局限，以20TOPS級算力實現中高階智駕功能，形成獨特的性價比優勢。製表：智車科技進一步來看，當前中低算力行泊一體賽道的核心對比趨勢愈發清晰：算力需求上，部分路線陷入"高算力依賴"，同等功能下算力需求較天瞳威視方案高出不少，直接推高硬件成本；技術路徑上，部分路線依賴高精地圖，場景覆蓋受限，而無圖化+稀疏化感知的路線憑藉靈活性與成本優勢，逐漸成為主流車型的優選；成本控制上，多數路線要麼犧牲功能換成本，要麼依賴硬件堆砌保功能，難以實現二者平衡；市場定位上，多數路線要麼聚焦中高端車型，要麼局限於基礎功能，而天瞳威視方案精准錨定10-20萬元主流價位段，兼顧功能與成本，適配性更強。製圖：智車科技  來源：公開資料注：1.算力需求：分值越低代表算力需求越低，越適配10-20萬主流車型；2.功能等級：含行泊一體、跨層記憶泊車等高階功能覆蓋度；3.成本控制：分值越高代表成本優化能力越強；4.技術路徑：分值越高代表路徑靈活性/適配性越強；5.市場定位：分值越高代表對10-20萬主流市場的適配精准度越高綜上該方案的核心價值，在於驗證了"系統優化替代硬件堆砌"的可規模化路徑。相較於行業同類方案，天瞳威視並未選擇升級高算力晶片來換取性能提升，而是在保持硬件精簡配置的前提下，通過效率挖掘，將有限算力轉化為實際可感知的功能體驗。值得一提的是，此次方案在記憶泊車的可運行場景較此前有所拓展，除支援垂直、水平、斜列等多種標準車位的車頭或車尾自動泊入與泊出外，亦能靈活應對極窄車位、斷頭路車位、機械車位和自定义車位等複雜場景，車輛可在地圖覆蓋的任意位置迅速完成自車初始定位，並在巡航過程中從容應對避障、繞障、會車、路口通行等繁忙停車場工況，形成從"功能可用"到"場景無憂"的完整閉環。二、上海知名車企身份指向何處？從多重公開信息看百萬定點的合作底色此次官宣中，天瞳威視並未明確披露該上海知名車企的具體身份，但據多位業內人士透露，此次達成百萬台級量產合作的正是上汽。儘管雙方尚未官宣，但從資本關聯、技術積澱、量產規模、海外適配等多個維度的公開信息交叉印證，這一指向已具備充分邏輯支撐。首先，從資本維度看，據天瞳威視招股書披露，上汽集團通過旗下上汽北美、恒旭資本先後參與天瞳威視多輪融資，是其最主要的產業投資方之一。在行業投資趨於理性、智駕賽道融資降溫的背景下，這一持續性投入本身即構成明確信號：雙方關係不止於供需，更帶有長期戰略協同的性質。其次，從合作維度看， 雙方前期已在L4級Robotaxi領域達成深度合作，聯合推出全球首款以地平線J6M晶片為算力核心的Robotaxi產品ConnectOne，該產品基於上汽大通大家7車型打造，意味著雙方已在軟硬件協同、整車適配層面完成完整技術驗證。此次百萬台級L2級量產定點，正是此前合作的自然延伸。再次，從合作規模與車型佈局看，能夠一次性釋放五款車型、近百萬台量產定點的上海車企屈指可數，且需具備成熟的海外車型規劃能力。上汽作為國內產銷量居前的汽車集團，旗下多品牌、多車型矩陣完全匹配這一體量需求。而此次定點覆蓋一款海外車型，更與上汽近年來積極推進的全球化戰略高度契合。綜合資本關聯、合作維度、量產規模及海外佈局等多重資訊，此次與天瞳威視達成百萬台級定點的上海車企身份已不難識別。業內人士的透露與公開線索相互印證，多方資訊均指向上汽。三、規模化與全球化，從量產規模到海外交付的路徑延伸不過，能夠拿下如此體量的量產定點，顯然不止於資本層面的"舊識"關係。更深層的原因，是主機廠對天瞳威視技術及工程落地能力的高度認可。從業務規劃來看，規模化落地與全球化拓展，正是天瞳威視智駕佈局的兩大核心方向，此次定點恰恰是這兩條路徑交匯的縮影。這種能力的核心，從招股書分析來看，首先來自於其業界領先的L2–L2+工程化交付能力。從算法驗證到整車適配、從軟硬集成到規模交付，天瞳威視在與多家主機廠的前裝量產合作中，已形成一套高成熟度、可複用的工程交付體系。根據灼識諮詢的資料，按2024年搭載量計，天瞳威視是中國第二大同時提供行車與泊車解決方案的以軟件為核心的L2–L2+解決方案提供商，也是第三大DMS解決方案提供商。正是這套可複用的交付體系，支撐其在國內智能駕駛方案商量產定點規模與交付落地能力排名中穩居前列，也成為此次百萬台級訂單順利落地的底盤保障。與此同時，海外量產經驗與海外法規適配能力亦構成了天瞳威視另一道差異化壁壘。此次合作覆蓋一款海外車型，對方案解決商的全球合規能力提出硬性門檻。公開資料顯示，天瞳威視智能駕駛系統已通過Euro NCAP、GSR等國際主流安全標準認證，落地服務覆蓋全球超過34個國家和地區。更值得關注的是，從2024年前裝解決方案海外出貨量來看，天瞳威視是國內最大的以軟件為核心的L2–L2+級智能駕駛解決方案提供商。這套"懂法規、能交付、已落地"的能力組合，疊加清晰的出海先發優勢，與主機廠的全球化戰略形成精准咬合，也為雙方後續海外市場的協同拓展打下堅實基礎。至於這套"效率優先"的技術路徑能否在更廣泛的價格帶與品牌矩陣中持續複製，值得持續關注。本文轉載自｜智車科技 鲁大师 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

SAN DIEGO, Feb 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) passed a new milestone this month, successfully integrating 3rd-party mission autonomy into the YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft to conduct its first semi-autonomous airborne mission.For this test, GA-ASI used mission autonomy software supplied by Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, to fly the new YFQ-42A CCA, designed and developed by GA-ASI for the U.S. Air Force. The Sidekick Collaborative Mission Autonomy software was seamlessly integrated with the YFQ-42A's flight control system, utilizing the Autonomy Government Reference Architecture (A-GRA). The integration enabled robust and reliable data exchange between the autonomy software and the aircraft's mission systems, ensuring precise execution of mission autonomy commands.During the recent testing, autonomy mode was activated via the Ground Station Console (GSC). Once enabled, a human autonomy operator on the ground transmitted various commands directly to the YFQ-42A, which executed the instructions with high accuracy for more than four hours. This test highlights the effectiveness of Sidekick's advanced mission autonomy capabilities and the flexibility of the A-GRA standard in supporting complex operational requirements."We are excited to collaborate with Collins to deliver enhanced autonomous mission solutions," said David R. Alexander, president of GA-ASI. "The integration of Sidekick with our YFQ-42A demonstrates our commitment to innovation and operational excellence in unmanned aircraft technology."This achievement underscores GA-ASI's dedication to advancing autonomous systems for defense applications. The combination of Sidekick autonomy software and YFQ-42A mission systems, connected through A-GRA, sets new benchmarks for combat autonomy, mission flexibility, operator control, and system reliability."The autonomy capabilities showcased in this flight highlight our dedicated investment to advance collaborative mission autonomy," said Ryan Bunge, vice president and general manager for Strategic Defense Solutions, Collins Aerospace, an RTX business. "The rapid integration of Sidekick onto this General Atomics platform and its immediate ability to support a broad spectrum of combat-relevant behaviors underscores the strength and flexibility of our open systems approach."This first mission autonomy flight continues a robust YFQ-42A development schedule for GA-ASI that began in August 2025 with initial flights of YFQ-42A Tail One. In less than six months, GA-ASI has built and flown multiple YFQ-42A aircraft, including push-button autonomous takeoffs and landings.GA-ASI has been building and flying uncrewed jets for nearly two decades, beginning with the company-funded, weaponized MQ-20 Avenger® in 2008. Ongoing company investment in Avenger continues to yield results, as the aircraft routinely serves as a CCA surrogate for advanced autonomy development and testing in both government programs and company-funded research and development.As a family-owned, privately held defense company for more than 30 years, GA-ASI is known as one of the original disruptors in the U.S defense industry, pioneering and inventing many of the technologies now considered ubiquitous in uncrewed aircraft operations around the world. The company re-invests more than 35 percent of annual revenue into internal research and design projects, building ahead of need and designing capabilities ahead of requirements.In 2025, for example, an internally funded Avenger demo featured both GA-ASI's TacACE autonomy software and Shield AI's Hivemind software on the same flight, with the MQ-20 seamlessly switching between AI pilots while still airborne. Later in the year, GA-ASI teamed with Lockheed Martin and L3 Harris for another Avenger flight demo, connecting the MQ-20 with an F-22 Raptor for an advanced manned-unmanned teaming mission that allowed the human fighter pilot to command the Avenger as an autonomous CCA surrogate via tablet control from the cockpit.In 2024, GA-ASI first flew its XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station (OBSS) jet, developed in collaboration with Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). This early CCA prototype validated the "genus/species" concept pioneered with AFRL as part of the Low-Cost Attritable Aircraft Platform Sharing (LCAAPS) program, focused on building several aircraft variants from a common core chassis.GA-ASI's Gambit Series envisions multiple missionized variants from this common core concept, with XQ-67A already showcasing airborne sensing and YFQ-42A illustrating air-to-air combat. Using this novel manufacturing approach to drive overall customer value, GA-ASI can quickly pivot to diverse missions with less time and cost investment than building a clean-sheet aircraft.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

美國加利福尼亞州聖地亞哥, 2026年2月13日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.（GA-ASI）本月達成一項新的里程碑，成功將第三方任務自主系統整合至 YFQ-42A 協同作戰飛機（Collaborative Combat Aircraft, CCA），並完成其首次半自主空中任務。在此次測試中，GA-ASI 採用了由 RTX 旗下企業 Collins Aerospace 提供的任務自主軟體，對這款為美國空軍設計和開發的全新 YFQ-42A CCA 進行飛行測試。Sidekick 協同任務自主軟體基於 Autonomy Government Reference Architecture（A-GRA，自主系統政府參考架構）標準，與 YFQ-42A 的飛行控制系統實現了無縫整合。該整合實現了自主軟體與飛機任務系統之間穩健且可靠的資料交換，確保任務自主指令能夠被精準執行。在近期測試過程中，通過地面控制台（Ground Station Console, GSC）啟動了自主模式。啟用後，地面的人類自主操作員向 YFQ-42A 直接發送多項指令，飛機在超過四小時的飛行過程中以高精度執行了相關指令。本次測試凸顯了 Sidekick 先進任務自主能力的有效性，以及 A-GRA 標準在支援複雜作戰需求方面的靈活性。“我們很高興與 Collins 展開合作，共同提供增強型自主任務解決方案，”GA-ASI 總裁 David R. Alexander 表示。“Sidekick 與我們的 YFQ-42A 的整合，體現了我們在無人機技術領域持續創新與追求卓越營運能力的承諾。”這一成就彰顯了 GA-ASI 在推進自主系統用於國防應用方面的堅定投入。通過 A-GRA 實現互聯的 Sidekick 自主軟體與 YFQ-42A 任務系統的結合，為作戰自主能力、任務靈活性、操作員控制能力以及系統可靠性樹立了新的標竿。“此次飛行所展示的自主能力，體現了我們在推進協同任務自主方面的持續投入，”RTX 旗下 Collins Aerospace 戰略防務解決方案副總裁兼總經理 Ryan Bunge 表示。“Sidekick 能夠快速整合至這一 General Atomics 平台，並立即支援廣泛的作戰相關行為，充分彰顯了我們開放系統架構方法的優勢與靈活性。”此次首次任務自主飛行，延續了 GA-ASI 強勁的 YFQ-42A 研發進度。該項目始於 2025 年 8 月，當時完成了首架 YFQ-42A（Tail One）的首次飛行。在不到六個月的時間內，GA-ASI 已建造並試飛多架 YFQ-42A 飛機，其中包括通過按鈕控制實現的自主起飛與自主著陸。GA-ASI 研發與試飛無人噴氣式飛機已有近二十年歷史，始於 2008 年公司自籌資金開發的武裝型 MQ-20 Avenger®。公司持續對 Avenger 項目進行投入並不斷取得成果，該機型經常在政府項目及公司自籌研發項目中充當 CCA 替代平台，用於先進自主技術的開發與測試。作為一家由家族擁有、私營控股的國防企業，GA-ASI 在過去 30 多年中一直被視為美國國防工業最早的“顛覆者”之一，率先研發並創造了多項如今已成為全球無人機運行領域普遍應用的關鍵技術。公司每年將超過 35% 的營收再投入內部研發與設計項目，提前佈局需求，超前設計能力。例如，在 2025 年的一次公司內部資助的 Avenger 演示飛行中，同一架飛機同時搭載了 GA-ASI 的 TacACE 自主軟體與 Shield AI 的 Hivemind 軟體，MQ-20 在空中飛行過程中實現了不同 AI“飛行員”之間的無縫切換。隨後在當年晚些時候，GA-ASI 與 Lockheed Martin 及 L3 Harris 合作開展了另一場 Avenger 飛行演示，將 MQ-20 與 F-22 Raptor 戰鬥機連接，執行先進的有人—無人協同任務。該任務允許人類戰鬥機飛行員通過座艙內的平板設備，對 Avenger 作為自主 CCA 替代平台進行指揮控制。2024 年，GA-ASI 首次試飛其 XQ-67A 機外感知站（Off-Board Sensing Station, OBSS）噴氣式飛機。該機型由 GA-ASI 與美國空軍研究實驗室（Air Force Research Laboratory, AFRL）合作開發。這一早期 CCA 原型機驗證了與 AFRL 共同提出的“屬/種（genus/species）”概念，該概念源自“低成本可損耗飛機平台共享計劃”（Low-Cost Attritable Aircraft Platform Sharing, LCAAPS），旨在基於統一核心底盤構建多種飛機變型。GA-ASI 的 Gambit 系列構想基於這一通用核心平台開發多種任務化變型，其中 XQ-67A 已展示空中感知能力，而 YFQ-42A 則展示了空對空作戰能力。通過這種創新的製造方法提升整體客戶價值，GA-ASI 能夠以比從零開始設計新型飛機更少的時間與成本投入，快速轉向不同任務需求。關於 GA-ASI通用原子航空系統公司（General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.，GA-ASI）是全球領先的無人航空系統（UAS）製造商。GA-ASI 的 Predator® 系列無人機已累計超過 900 萬飛行小時，並在過去 30 年內持續服役，旗下機型包括 MQ-9A Reaper®、MQ-1C Gray Eagle®、MQ-20 Avenger® 以及 MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®。公司致力於提供長航時、多任務解決方案，以實現持續的態勢感知與快速打擊能力。欲了解更多資訊，請訪問 www.ga-asi.com 。Avenger、EagleEye、Grey Eagle、Lynx、Predator、Reaper、SeaGuardian 和 SkyGuardian 是 General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. 在美國和/或其他國家註冊的商標。聯絡方式GA-ASI 媒體關係ASI-MediaRelations@ga-asi.com(858) 524-8101來源: General Atomics Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
