Background The Northrop Grumman (formerly Ryan Aeronautical) RQ-4 Global Hawk, also known as Tier II+ during development, is a highly advanced unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It serves the United States Air Force and Navy as a surveillance aircraft. In terms of role and operational design, the Global Hawk closely resembles the Lockheed U-2, a legendary 1950s spy plane. As a theater commander's asset, it provides a broad overview and systematic target surveillance. Key Features The Global Hawk is capable of providing high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery that can penetrate cloud cover and sandstorms. It also offers Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) imagery at long range with extended loiter times over target areas. With its advanced capabilities, the Global Hawk can survey up to 40,000 square miles of terrain per day. Mission Capabilities The Global Hawk serves as a high-altitude platform for surveillance and security. Its missions cover the full spectrum of intelligence collection capability, supporting forces in worldwide military operations. According to the Air Force, the aircraft's capabilities enable more precise targeting of weapons and better protection of forces through superior surveillance capabilities. Pricing and Availability Each RQ-4 Global Hawk costs approximately US$35 million to procure. With development costs included, the unit cost rises to US$218 million. Initial operational capability was declared for the RQ-4 Block 30 in August 2011. However, in January 2012, the Air Force announced that no further RQ-4 Block 30 aircraft would be procured, and that the existing fleet would be mothballed to reduce costs.
