The Global Hawk is a low-wing, long-range, long-endurance, single-engine unmanned jet aircraft that typically operates as a fully autonomous vehicle using a comprehensive pre-loaded

Scanned Array (AESA)-360 radome on a Global Hawk aircraft (Radome provides greater volume for instruments under the aircraft and has been used to house the High-Altitude Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler [HiWRAP] and Twilite instruments)

2019年10月2日 · NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, operates two Northrop Grumman Global Hawk unmanned aircraft for high-altitude, long-duration missions. Acquired from the U.S. Air Force, these two aircraft consist of a Block 2 Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration model and a Block 10 initial production model.

• NASA has 5 Pilots being Global Hawk Qualified • NGC has 2-Pilots on staff, with plans to expand • Plan is to fly with a 2-Pilot Team sharing a 12-hour Shift • Aircraft will be recovered with a fresh Op’s Team – new shift • Initial Assessment is that Aircraft can be Fueled, and Re-launched fairly quickly

With its white paint job, snub nose, humped radome, and single Rolls-Royce AE-3007H turbofan engine, the Global Hawk cuts a figure both elegant and strange; its profile gives the vague...

The effort will involve a mechanical and thermal study for installation of CRS into the Global Hawk, RF design for integrating the HIWRAP Ka-band transceiver with CRS and a new subscale prototype antenna for ACE, and specification and testing of a Ka-/W-band radome necessary in front of the antenna.

Abstract—The Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s High-Altitude Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Sounding Ra-diometer (HAMSR) is a 25-channel cross-track scanning mi-crowave sounder with channels near the 60- and 118-GHz oxygen lines and the 183-GHz water-vapor line.

• The Global Hawk UAS is a unique suborbital platform for Earth science research. • NASA missions have already demonstrated that Global Hawk can acquire unprecedented data from the remote atmosphere. • UASs are the future of airborne science: they are challenging our imagination for use in atmospheric, ecological, and weather
