About the Global Hawk USAF

The Global Hawk (RQ-4) is a High-Altitude, Long-Endurance Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) used by the U.S Air Force. On February 28 1998, Global Hawk made its first flight from Edwards Air Force Base, CA.

The uniquely designed aircraft is one of the primer intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance collection aircraft of the Iraq war. Capable of long endurance missions at 60,000 feet or above, it provides extended coverage, near- real-time multi-sensor support to the theater commander and his deployed forces. The integrated sensor suite consists of SAR, EO, and IR sensors. Each of the sensors provides wide area search imagery and a high-resolution spot mode. The radar also has a ground moving target indicator mode. The Hawk is a relatively large aircraft with a 116 foot wingspan, 44 feet in length, 26,000 pound take-off weight, capable of 30 hour missions with a 3,000 nautical mile range.
