Northrop Grumman Delivers Global Hawks to the U.S. Air Force

By Danielle Lucey

Northrop Grumman Corp. announced today that it completed early delivery of two Global Hawks to the U.S. Air Force in November. 



"Global Hawk's ability to fly more than 30 hours at high altitudes while gathering multiple types of intelligence data makes it extremely valuable to field commanders who need near real-time information," says George Guerra, vice president for Global Hawk unmanned aircraft systems. "These new aircraft add to that capability."



This brings the number of Global Hawk UAS delivered to the Air Force in 2012 to three. The company also completed installation of additional sensors to five of its previously delivered Air Force Global Hawks.
