New UAV Exhibit Opens

Week of August 25, 2008

The new RQ-4A Global Hawk exhibit opened at the United States Museum of the Air Force. The Global Hawk is a high-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aircraft system that sends near-real-time reconnaissance imagery to air, ground and sea forces. The RQ-4A, first flown in 1998, has seen service in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and in several American and international joint forces exercises. The Global Hawk on display in the new exhibit flew more than 4,800 hours and provided hundreds of thousands of images in support of U.S. forces worldwide.
