Carsten Wiethoff Wrote:Two notes here: The EuroHawk is based on the GlobalHawk platform, which is built by Northrop Grumman in the U.S. .
The German Euro Hawk GmbH, a joint venture between Northrop Grumman and EADS, develops and integrates the instrumentation,
to allow collecting signals intelligence and process it in real time, as well as the ground stations that belong to it.
Second note: The EuroHawk is an unarmed drone.
Thanks for that Carsten. I note, however, that putting weapons pylons under the craft, and the necessary electrical connections would take very little additional work - the plans and parts already exist or could be newly built in a flash!
