2.1.10 I-Gnat-ER
User Service: Army Manufacturer: General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.
Background: The Army acquired three I-Gnat-ER UA in FY04 as a result of a Congressional budget increase for CONOPS development for the ER/MP program. The Army subsequently deployed these assets to Iraq as a gap filler during the Hunter reconstitution. Two more UA are on order and are to deliver in FY05. These two will have SATCOM data links and be equipped with the Raytheon 17 inch MTS sensor/designator system. I-Gnat-ER is a variant of the Predator. The I-Gnat-ER is slightly larger than the Gnat 750, has external hardpoints, an air-to-air data link ability, and more capable avionics. In 2002, Canada employed an I-Gnat to augment security surveillance during the G-8 Heads of State Meeting in Alberta and in a Canadian Army exercise. The Army has had I-Gnat-ERs deployed to Iraq since March 2004.
