General Atomics was conceived in 1955 at San Diego, California for the purpose
of harnessing the power of nuclear technologies for the benefit of mankind. General Atomics’
basic research into fission and fusion has matured into competence in many technologies, making GA
and its affiliated companies one of the world’s leading resources for high-technology systems development ranging from
the nuclear fuel cycle to remotely operated surveillance aircraft, airborne sensors, and advanced electric, electronic, wireless
and laser technologies.
