Global Hawk Baseline

Abstract

The Global Hawk Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) provides high altitude, deep look, long endurance intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capability that compliments space and other airborne collectors during peacetime, crisis, and war-fighting scenarios. RDT&E funding in this project (and PEC 0305205F, project 674799 in FY01-04) captures design, development, integration, and testing of all prior years for all sub-programs prior to the ADM restructure into separate projects. See Budget Item Justifications in other sub-programs for descriptions of supported activities. This sub-program (and PEC 0305205F, project 674799) captures all historical costs of RQ-4A and RQ-4B baseline development, as well as development of the Integrated Sensor Suite, Enhanced Integrated Sensor Suite, and legacy ground segments. Activities also included studies and analysis supporting current and future program planning, program protection and project execution. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
