For the boys who love toys... I have just received a heads-up from my son-inlaw who works with these new toys at Northrop-Grumman.
The RQ-4 Global Hawk has a similar mission as the U-2, but without a pilot, similar size, has around a 30++ Hrs hang time, can refuel in the air, no potty, no unions,, no Tom Cruise,, and un-armed...
Should be a good over view of the technology and how it is being applied,, as least the parts they are allowed to talk about..
National Geographic Channel to Feature Global Hawk
The National Geographic Channel will feature the RQ-4 Global Hawk
unmanned reconnaissance aircraft along with the Project CHLOE initiative
as part of a new documentary, "Hi-Tech War on Terror." The program is
scheduled to air Wednesday, Jan. 28, at 10 p.m. (Eastern/Pacific).
The program will provide a glimpse of the cutting-edge technologies
being designed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to combat and
deter terrorist attacks within America's borders.
