General Atomics Systems Integration

What General Atomics Systems Integration does

General Atomics Systems Integration, LLC (GA-SI) is a privately held defense services contractor and an affiliated company of the General Atomics group, headquartered in San Diego, California. The company operates two divisions: Aerospace Systems & Sustainment (Engineering Services), which delivers engineered integrated systems, electro-mechanical hardware and software up to DAL A criticality, integrated landing gear and braking systems, system qualification testing, and Contractor Logistics Support; and Global Operations (Aero Services), which provides fleet operations, launch and recovery, flight line repairs, mission support, and intelligence services for unmanned aerial systems — including the MQ-1 Predator, MQ-1C Gray Eagle, MQ-9 Reaper, and Predator C Avenger. Service delivery is executed through deployed and permanent-party positions across 50+ CONUS and OCONUS locations, with Contractor Inventory Control Points co-located at USAF Depots and Tobyhanna Army Depot.

GA-SI generates revenue almost exclusively through U.S. federal contracting, accessing customers via six IDIQ vehicles (AFWERX, EWAAC, GSA-PSS, OASIS+, SOSSEC, SeaPort-NxG) plus Other Transaction Authority mechanisms. Primary customers are the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, the DoD Intelligence Community, the Department of Homeland Security, and select international defense agencies. The company's Flex Employment model schedules deployable personnel — aircrew, A&P mechanics, avionics technicians, site management — at roughly 60% of the year while maintaining full benefits, which lowers billable-hour cost on deployed work. The company employs 51–100 staff across offices in California, Utah, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania, and is privately held under the General Atomics corporate umbrella alongside GA-ASI, GA Intelligence, GA Europe, and GA Synopta.
