SAN DIEGO - 26 June 2025 - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) reveals an investment in another Dutch organization, Arceon, following the inaugural Blue Magic Netherlands (BMN) event kept in November 2024. GA-ASI is an international leader in unmanned airplane systems and related mission systems.

GA-ASI selected Arceon following an engaging pitch they made throughout the BMN event and after comprehensive organization and innovation discussions with GA-ASI and GA's affiliates, General and General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems. Arceon signs up with Emergent Swarm Solutions and Saluqi Motors as business receiving financial investment from GA-ASI following the BMN occasion.

Arceon is transforming high-performance ceramic composites through their innovative, quick, scalable, and economical melt infiltration process. Their advanced Carbeon carbon-ceramic parts - engineered for applications such as nozzles, nozzle extensions, leading edges, nose caps, and airframes - are customized to meet the increasing and rigorous needs of the area and defense sectors.

"We are honored to team up with General Atomics ahead of time hypersonic development. This milestone marks our main entry into the U.S. defense sector, presenting an amazing opportunity to demonstrate our information technology on a worldwide phase. We look forward, with great anticipation, to the journey ahead," stated Rahul Shirke, creator and CEO of Arceon B.V.

At the Blue Magic financial investment and development conference in the Netherlands last November, GA-ASI and its partners heard pitches from ingenious Dutch companies about the crucial innovations they are developing. The event was organized collaboratively in between GA-ASI, the Dutch Ministry of Defense, the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Brainport Development in Eindhoven, and Brabant Development Agency (BOM). GA-ASI is delivering 8 MQ-9A aircraft to the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF).

GA-ASI is continuing to deal with the Dutch government and Dutch industry in supporting the development of information technology development in the Netherlands and anticipates holding its 2nd BMN event in Eindhoven later on this year. The company hosted its very first Blue Magic occasion in 2019 in Belgium, with subsequent occasions kept in 2020, 2021, and 2023.
