From the aircraft build to flight, the first RQ-4 Global Hawk developed for the NATO Allied Ground Surveillance (AGS) programme has taken to the air. Leaving from Palmdale, NATO’s first Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) aircraft successfully executed a comprehensive range of test points before landing at Edwards Air Force Base on December 19, 2015 in Palmdale, California.
The flight, which was attended by representatives from the NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance Management Organization (NAGSMO), the NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance Management Agency (NAGSMA), and the NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance Management Organization (NAGSMO), saw the high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) UAV perform a range of test points before landing at nearby Edwards Air Force Base (AFB).
