Blackwater Airships, which offers surveillance services for intelligence gathering, becomes Guardian Flight Systems. Blackwater Target Systems, the unit that develops and builds targets, is now known as GSD Manufacturing. The most well-known part of the business — Blackwater Lodge and Training Center — will now be called U.S. Training Center. Company executives have also taken on new positions. Gary Jackson, longtime president of Blackwater Lodge and Training, is now president of Xe. RJ Hillhouse, a national security expert and author of the blog called The Spy Who Billed Me, said the company is “obviously trying to distance itself from their image as reckless cowboys that’s etched into the world’s mind from the September shooting. With a new name, “there are a lot of people who probably won’t connect the dots,” she said. “In a year or two, people won’t remember that’s Blackwater.” Have Your Say: Blackwater tries to rebrand itself Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
