Northrop Grumman to Modernise and Strengthen Global Hawk

Northrop Grumman Corporation’s RQ-4 Global Hawk Ground Segment Modernization Programme (GSMP), provides new cockpit displays that enhance situational awareness for the pilot and sensor operator while improving overall mission capabilities. It is currently in integration and testing following a successful first flight in 2020. 
 
GSMP is part of a series of Global Hawk modernisation efforts that will enhance the ability of the system to monitor and deter near-peer and peer threats around the globe. The system is on schedule to complete operational test and evaluation in October 2022.
 
The RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aircraft system (UAS) provides persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance information. Able to fly at high altitudes for greater than 30 hours, Global Hawk is designed to gather near-real-time, high-resolution imagery of large areas of land in all types of weather – day or night. Beyond intelligence collection, a portion of the Global Hawk fleet is engaged in supporting air and ground users with communications relay support. The EQ-4B Global Hawk carries the Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) payload providing life-saving support to warfighters.
 
Global Hawk provides an affordable and flexible platform for multiple sensor payloads to be used together, delivering mission-critical information to various users around the world.
