SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has announced investments in two Dutch companies, Emergent Swarm Solutions and Saluqi Motors, following their participation in the Blue Magic Netherlands (BMN) event last November.

Lennart Bult, Co-founder and Managing Director at Emergent, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, emphasizing the opportunity to apply their technology to GA-ASI’s current and future aircraft.

Saluqi Motors, recognized for creating high-density motors with integrated electronics, is set to collaborate with GA-ASI to adapt their products for aerospace applications, meeting the industry’s stringent environmental demands. CEO Matthijs de Haan of Saluqi Motors highlighted the honor of being selected by GA-ASI and the potential to advance their technology for defense and aerospace uses.

Brad Lunn, managing director for GA-ASI, indicated that the investments are part of a broader commitment to fostering technology innovation in the Netherlands and hinted at the possibility of future announcements as they continue to engage with other companies from the BMN event.

GA-ASI, a global leader in unmanned aircraft systems, has a history of hosting Blue Magic events, starting in Belgium in 2019, with the aim of supporting technological advancements. The company is also delivering eight MQ-9A aircraft to the Royal Netherlands Air Force.

The investments in Emergent Swarm Solutions and Saluqi Motors underscore GA-ASI’s ongoing collaboration with the Dutch government and industry players to nurture the growth of high-tech solutions in the region. The information is based on a press release statement from GA-ASI.
