      /TI   Global Hawk Achieves First UAV Military Airworthiness Certification

      /LP, /TX  TEXT: 
               Northrop Grumman [NOC] recently said its RQ-4A Global Hawk became the 
        first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to achieve a military airworthiness 
        certification on Jan. 25 by the Air Force, facilitating routine operations 
        within the national airspace system (NAS). 
               "Global Hawk was also the first UAV to receive a National Certificate of 
        Authorization (CoA) from the Federal Aviation Administration," George Guerra, 
        Northrop Grumman's Global Hawk program director, said in a statement. "Global 
        Hawk continues to be a trailblazer in leading the way for UAV certifications." 
      /TX         This airworthiness certification covers all five production RQ-4A Global 
        Hawk vehicles delivered to the Air Force. In granting the certificate, the Air 
        Force determined that the Global Hawk system has a proven track record of safe 
        and reliable operations. 
               According to the company, the military certification outweighs civilian 
        experimental airworthiness certifications that have been granted to other UAVs. 
        The process is very rigorous, taking three years and 77,000 man-hours to 
        achieve, and it will be maintained through the life of the aircraft, similar to 
        that for all manned aircraft. 
               "This is a historic event," Randy Brown, Global Hawk Systems Group 
        director with the Air Force's Aeronautical Systems Center at Wright-Patterson 
        AFB, Ohio, said. "The aircraft was evaluated against over 500 technical criteria 
        in order to get this certification." 
               To receive the CoA, Northrop Grumman said it worked closely with the 
        Federal Aviation Administration to define airspace requirements for UAVs. 
               The airworthiness certification process for the new RQ-4B Global Hawk has 
        begun and should be completed by late 2007. 
               The larger RQ-4B Global Hawk will carry fifty percent more payload than 
        the current RQ-4A. First flight for the RQ-4B is planned later this year. During 
        three wartime deployments, Global Hawk has logged more than 250 missions and 
        5,000 combat flight hours.
