The Altair/Predator B was part of NASA's now-concluded Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology (ERAST) program, based at Dryden (now Armstrong) Flight Research Center. The Altair was built by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI). NASA called for the San Diego firm to develop and demonstrate technical performance and operational capabilities to meet the needs of the science community.
