SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 26, 2026 / General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) today announced its selection by the U.S. Army as one of multiple industry partners for the Janus Program to advance the General Atomics Tactical Energy System (GA‑TES) for future deployment. Engineered for remote, austere and strategically important environments, GA-TES is a microreactor designed to deliver safe and reliable power to maintain critical operations during electric grid disruptions that threaten energy security. Led by the Army in partnership with the Department of War Innovation Unit, the Janus Program is accelerating commercially developed nuclear technologies into operational use. GA-EMS will execute its effort through an Other Transaction Authority-based agreement and milestone-based funding tied to specific technical goals.

Collaboration supports stockpile replenishment and coalition interoperability

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 15, 2026 / General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA‑EMS) announced today it has been awarded a U.S. Army contract to demonstrate a long-range maneuvering projectile under the Extended Range Artillery Projectile (ERAP) program. The award funds flight demonstrations to validate a next‑generation, maneuvering 155 mm projectile capable of achieving significantly greater ranges than current rounds while maintaining precision in GPS‑degraded or denied environments. The Army is targeting Initial Operational Capability by fiscal year 2030, and this effort positions GA‑EMS as a potential production source for advanced munitions that extend the reach of Army self‑propelled howitzers.
