The Global Hawk is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by Northrop Grumman for high-altitude, long-endurance missions. It is primarily used for surveillance and reconnaissance, providing real-time intelligence to military forces. The aircraft can fly at altitudes of up to 60,000 feet and has a wingspan similar to that of a Boeing 737. Equipped with advanced sensors and cameras, the Global Hawk can cover vast areas and gather detailed imagery and data. It plays a crucial role in modern warfare and disaster response, helping to monitor situations without risking human lives. Its capabilities make it a valuable asset for both military and humanitarian operations.
