SAN DIEGO, CA, May 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The UK's Military Aviation Authority has issued a Military Type Certificate to the Royal Air Force's Protector RG Mk1 uncrewed aircraft, also designated the MQ-9B, certifying that it has passed a rigorous airworthiness assessment and verifying it's safe to operate without geographic restrictions, including over populous areas. This April 29 decision was a first-of-its-kind milestone for a large, unmanned aircraft system. It's a huge accomplishment for the UK and a technological watershed in the history of unmanned aircraft systems. GA-ASI is the first manufacturer of large, unmanned aircraft to receive an MTC based on rigorous compliance with STANAG 4671, the NATO standard for unmanned aircraft system airworthiness.Obtaining the MTC has been a goal of GA-ASI since the inception of the MQ-9B in January 2014. The company took its proven UAS platform, the MQ-9A, and added performance enhancing features while ensuring that the design was capable of meeting NATO's STANAG 4671 Edition 2 airworthiness requirements. To meet those rigorous requirements, the aircraft incorporates numerous enhancements not found on other large UAS. These include lightning protection, fire protection, anti-icing systems and a fatigue-and-damage-tolerant building block design approach. All flight critical software was designed in compliance with the rigor of Do-178/254. Mission software is rigidly separated from flight critical software. These features not only address the aircraft's airworthiness but also enhance its reliability and operational flexibility to levels unmatched by other UAS."Earning an MTC for MQ-9B was a herculean effort and a seminal achievement for our company," said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. "We invested over $500 million as part of an 11-year effort to develop an unmanned aircraft that meets NATO's rigorous airworthiness standards. This included three flight test aircraft, full component and system-level environmental testing to Do-160 and Mil-Standards (system level environmental testing at Elgin and Pax River), full scale static test airframe test to ultimate ground and flight loads, bird strike, hail protection and full-scale fatigue testing to three lifetimes (3x 40,000 notional aircraft flight hours = 120,000 hours total). Our engineers developed over 140,000 pages of detailed technical data verifying that the MQ-9B met those demanding requirements. I congratulate our team for this outstanding accomplishment, and I know our customers need this type certification, which will open civil airspace for their flight operations."The Royal Air Force continues to take delivery of new Protector aircraft at their home in the North of England at RAF Waddington. The UK has 10 aircraft of the 16 it has ordered."Achieving the award of a first in class Military Type Certificate has required years of dedication and perseverance and is a testament to the hard work of all involved. It is a privilege to be the first to be awarded an MTC for the Protector Air System," said Gp. Capt. Neil Venables, Type Airworthiness Authority and holder of the Protector Type Certificate.MQ-9B is the world's most advanced medium altitude, long endurance UAS. MQ-9B includes the SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian® models as well as the Protector operated by the RAF.In addition to the UK, GA-ASI has MQ-9B orders from Belgium, Canada, Poland, Japan Coast Guard, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, Taiwan, India, and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. MQ-9B has also supported various U.S. Navy exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, RIMPAC, and Group Sail.About GA-ASIGeneral 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®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

JAKARTA, May 7, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The construction industry is under pressure by challenging global economic conditions. This is reflected by new contracts secured by PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk (WIKA) of only Rp2.16 trillion, which is lower compared to the same period the previous year. However, the Company booked Rp4.84 trillion in sales, comprising Rp3.11 trillion from non-joint operation projects (Proyek Non-Kerjasama Operasi) and Rp1.73 trillion from joint operation projects (Proyek Kerjasama Operasi, “KSO”).Sales were mainly generated from the building and infrastructure segment, EPC, construction-related industries, and real estate property. The sales achievement enabled WIKA to book a gross profit of Rp393.46 billion, of which Rp231.33 billion came from non-KSO projects and the remainder from KSO projects.WIKA’s consistent restructuring efforts have successfully reduced debts on its balance sheet to financial institutions and business partners by Rp1.47 trillion in Q1-2025 compared with 2024.These positive achievements were also followed by proposals that were approved by bondholders, especially for the Wijaya Karya Shelf Registration Bond II Phase II Year 2022. This reflects stakeholders’ support for the Company’s ongoing restructuring plans. As a result of the approval, the credit rating agency, PT Pemeringkat Efek Indonesia (PEFINDO), upgraded WIKA’s Shelf Registration Bond II Phase II Year 2022 Series A rating from idD to idCCC. However, the Company must seek support from sukukholders of the Wijaya Karya Shelf Registration Sukuk Mudharabah II Phase II Year 2022 to approve the proposals presented, which are part of the Company’s restructuring plans.“The Company expresses its deepest appreciation for the trust and support given by stakeholders. The ongoing restructuring plans are not only focused on improving our financial structure but also on strengthening our fundamentals and operations to attain greater excellence and maintain business sustainability,” said Agung BW, President Director of WIKA.PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk.

LONDON, May 6, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new report released today by the World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA) reveals widespread knowledge gaps, inequities in access, and critical systemic barriers impeding the global fight against hepatitis delta.Also known as hepatitis D, hepatitis delta is a severe liver disease affecting an estimated 12 million people worldwide. It occurs in people living with hepatitis B, leads to faster disease progression, and significantly increases the risk of liver cancer and death.The Hepatitis Delta Global Landscape Survey collected responses from 583 individuals across 102 countries, providing the most comprehensive picture to date of global stakeholder perspectives on awareness, testing, and treatment access around hepatitis delta.Key Findings:There are pronounced regional variations in reported availability and accessibility of hepatitis delta testing and treatment.Even where hepatitis delta testing and treatment are reported to be available, accessibility remains a significant challenge.Both direct and indirect costs are reported as considerable barriers to equitable access to hepatitis delta treatment and care.There are pronounced gaps in knowledge and awareness of hepatitis delta reported by all stakeholders with pronounced regional variations.Lack of knowledge is reported as the most common barrier to both testing and treatment.A third of respondents did not feel sufficiently informed to identify the barriers to hepatitis delta testing and treatment.HCPs reported low levels of training around hepatitis delta, and most expressed a clear interest in further education."These findings highlight an urgent need for coordinated action to scale up hepatitis delta education, diagnosis, and care," said Cary James, CEO of WHA. "Without informed providers, empowered communities, and accessible health services, millions will remain undiagnosed and untreated."Calls to Action:Increase both availability and accessibility of testing and treatment for hepatitis delta in health systems.Address the issues of direct and indirect costs of testing and treatment to increase engagement by communities.Adopt testing policies to follow WHO recommendations on reflex testing for hepatitis delta.Inform people living with hepatitis B of the need to test for hepatitis delta through culturally competent awareness campaigns.Provide more robust training on hepatitis delta to healthcare professionals throughout their career progression.Increase provision of knowledge and awareness programmes for community-based organisations and policymakers.Implement skills-building programmes for community-based organisations so they can better advocate to policymakers and public health officials for greater access to testing, treatment and care.Download the full report: www.worldhepatitisalliance.org/hepatitis-d-surveyNote to Editors:For further information or interview requests contact: Cary James, Chief Executive, World Hepatitis AllianceEmail: contact@worldhepatitisalliance.orgAbout WHA:The World Hepatitis Alliance is an international network of 400 civil society and community organisations across more than 100 countries.
