GA-ASI Expands Targeting Capability for MQ-9B SeaGuardian(R)

New Software Will Provide In-Flight Target Updates

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has demonstrated software that will provide in-flight target updates that will enable the MQ-9B SeaGuardian® Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) to close gaps on maritime targets. In a recent ground test, GA-ASI demonstrated the ability to send sensor data to the missile via Link 16 messaging. The software, part of General Atomics’ Quadratix software enterprise, was validated in a Systems Integration Lab and is gearing up for a live-fire demonstration later this year.

“We continue to build on the innovative capabilities of SeaGuardian for the U.S. Navy,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “The targeting we’ve demonstrated will be especially valuable in contested environments, enabling an unmanned asset like SeaGuardian to be used for higher-risk missions instead of putting manned assets at risk.”

Being able to fire and use SeaGuardian for targeting will significantly enhance the aircraft’s mission set. GA-ASI first showcased its targeting capability for SeaGuardian during the U.S. Navy’s Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2024.

SeaGuardian is a maritime derivative of GA-ASI’s MQ-9B SkyGuardian® and remains the first UAS to offer multi-domain Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISR&T) as an internal payload that can search the ocean’s surface and its depths in support of Fleet Operations.

With strong demand already in place, GA-ASI anticipates increasing interest in the MQ-9B SeaGuardian because it delivers high-end maritime capabilities at a significantly lower cost than traditional manned maritime platforms.

About GA-ASI
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. is the world’s foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 8 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle® 25M, MQ-20 Avenger®, XQ-67A, YFQ-42A, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®. The company is dedicated to providing long-endurance, multi-mission solutions that deliver persistent situational awareness and rapid strike.

Doubleview Gold Corp 2025 Exploration Program

Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV:DBG)(OTCQB:DBLVF)(FSE:1D4) (the “Company” or “Doubleview”) is pleased to share its plans for the upcoming 2025 exploration season for its 100% owned BC projects. Based on the Company’s successful 2024 exploration season, which included publishing the Hat Project’s maiden resource estimate (‘MRE V1′), exceptional high-grade drill results from its 10,000m drill program (please see the Company’s news release from February 05, 2025) and the recently announced collaboration of the Company with Her Excellency Sheikha Sara Nasser Al-Thani of Qmission of Qatar (please see the Company’s news release from March 05, 2025), Doubleview is readying its field crews for the upcoming field season.

Hat Project – 2025 Program of WorkDoubleview is setting out to continue building on its exploration success at its polymetallic Hat Project. The 2024 drill results have provided important information which is supporting the Company’s geological team in understanding the evolution of, and ultimately the entire Hat Deposit (“Hat” or “Deposit”) system. The goals of the upcoming drill season are to continue to expand and build the resource to higher levels of confidence, to test newly identified targets to the northwest and east of the Deposit, and to find the source of the system that created the Hat Deposit.

Details for the environmental sampling program are currently being finalized. Doubleview’s intensions are to implement this work to fulfill regulatory requirements necessary towards further development of the Hat Project. The Preliminary Economic Assessment (“HAT PEA”) with an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“HAT MRE 2.0”) is steadily progressing as expected.

President & CEO Farshad Shirvani states: “After achieving several milestones for the Hat Project, it is time to continue its development. Our field crew, technical team and I are excited about the newly acquired information which will guide this year’s efforts. Our goals are to find the porphyry system’s source, to further advance the integrity of the resource estimate categories, to continue advancing environmental work and building stakeholder relationships. There are less than 90 drill holes at the Hat Project, and we have been able to show tremendous results. At the same time, it is very clear that there are many more opportunities to enhance the Hat Deposit that our team is eager to explore.” Mr. Shirvani added: “The Company is continuing its dialogue with Her Excellency Sara Nasser Al-Thani of Qmission of Qatar to build a strong relationship to explore optimal opportunities for both sides. With the worldwide growing attention on critical minerals, by governments and major mining companies alike, we believe that the Company is a great position.”

Red Spring – 2025 Exploration ProgramPart of Doubleview’s portfolio of projects is Red Spring, which is located in central BC, Canada. It is a copper-silver-gold project which in recent exploration programs showed elevated zinc values. With copper and zinc being elements that are listed as Critical Minerals by the Canadian Government, the Red Spring project merits a well-tailored exploration program. For this season an extensive ground IP program is planned which will be followed-up by drilling based on the IP results. The goal of the exploration program is to build on existing data and together with the new results, narrow down the potential deposit type. Currently the two potential deposit types in focus for the project are sediment hosted copper-silver deposits and Eskay Creek type deposits.

Doubleview maintains a website at www.doubleview.ca.

Trading Nations Global Releases Transformative White Paper: Empowering a Quantum-Resilient Future Through Collaboration

Today marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of global infrastructure as Trading Nations Global officially releases its highly anticipated white paper: Empowering a Quantum-Resilient Future Through Collaboration. This visionary document lays the foundation for a digitally sovereign, quantum-ready world—one powered by decentralized cooperation, green technology, and AI-enabled infrastructure.

In an age defined by uncertainty and fragmentation, Trading Nations Global is catalyzing a new era of digital diplomacy and sustainable innovation. Through a robust network of ambassadors spanning 16 global regions, the organization is coordinating the rollout of Regional Centers of Excellence (RCoEs)—localized, sovereign cloud hubs designed to secure data, enable AI, and operate autonomously through renewable energy.

“We are not just imagining the future—we are actively building it,” said Earl Q. Davis, founder of Trading Nations Global.

“This white paper is a call to unite governments, enterprises, and innovators around a shared infrastructure built for resilience, sovereignty, and sustainability.” said Michael E. Kempton, CEO, Trading Nations Global.

Key Insights from the White Paper:

Quantum-Resilient Infrastructure: RCoEs are fortified with post-quantum cryptography and tamper-proof digital lineage tracking to future-proof global data flows.
Sovereign Cloud Ecosystem: Powered by the Vogon Cloud and the Distributed Quantum Ledger Database (DQLDB), this infrastructure allows for secure, low-latency, and borderless collaboration.
Sustainability by Design: Each center is energy-autonomous, running on solar, wind, and hydrogen captured from ambient air—marking a shift toward truly off-grid operations.
Partnership-Driven Deployment: Co-selling with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) ensures scalable, regionally tailored implementation with shared revenue models.
Community-Led Governance: Infrastructure decisions are made locally, preserving cultural integrity, compliance, and trust

Impactful Goals:

In the next 12 months: Deploy RCoEs in all 16 regions and onboard over 500 organizations to the Vogon Cloud.
By year two: Launch federated AI systems and establish Quantum Digital Asset governance.
In the long term: Build a global mesh of quantum-sovereign nodes that power a post-silicon digital economy.

This white paper presents not only a roadmap but a rallying point for global actors ready to transcend outdated paradigms. The Trading Nations framework balances high-tech resilience with ethical and equitable design principles—offering a scalable alternative to centralized digital monopolies

Join the Movement

Trading Nations Global is actively welcoming new coalition members—governments, technologists, businesses, and citizens—ready to co-create a secure and sustainable digital future.
