RQ-4 Block 30

Abstract

The RQ-4 Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) provides a high altitude, deep look, long-endurance Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capability that complements space and other airborne collectors during peacetime, crisis, and war-fighting scenarios. RDT&E funding in this project supports design, development, integration, and testing of capabilities needed to meet validated requirements for Block 30 aircraft, including continuing aircraft system upgrade for Enhanced Integrated Sensor Suite (EISS) sensors, the Airborne Signals Intelligence Payload (ASIP), and alternate sensor payloads. This project supports system engineering/program management, test and evaluation, management services, and fielding support for all RQ-4 projects. This reflects contracting/acquisition strategy for these common elements within the Global Hawk program to provide efficiencies. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver RQ-4 UAV weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F.
