Global Hawk demonstration success takes ISR procurement one step closer

Article Abstract:

The removal of one of the major obstacle for a new wide area intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) system, has led Germany to get closer to launch the procurement of the project. This was done by the successful completion of a two-week electronic intelligence (ELINT) demonstration in German controlled airspace with a US Air Force Northrop Grumman RQ-4A Global Hawk high-altitude, long-endurance (HALE) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
