'Predator Drones' are manufactured by :

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A

Explanation

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is the primary manufacturer of the Predator family of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This includes the original MQ-1 Predator and its more advanced successor, the MQ-9 Reaper (also known as Predator B).

These drones are designed for long-endurance, high-altitude surveillance and precision strike missions. India has recently moved to acquire the MQ-9B SkyGuardian and SeaGuardian variants from General Atomics to enhance its defense capabilities across the Indian Ocean and land borders. While Boeing and Lockheed Martin are major global aerospace firms, they produce different drone systems (such as Boeing's ScanEagle or Lockheed's Indago). PrecisionHawk is a company that specializes primarily in commercial drone technology and aerial data analytics rather than military-grade strike drones.
