    When Jamie asks what the infrared sensor is for, the answer that it was used to find hotspots in the Fukushima reactor is a much nicer way of saying it's designed to find people that need to be eliminated.

    The Global Hawk UAV, an Unmanned Air Vehicle, unlike an RPA, Remotely Piloted Aircraft. The difference is that an RPA requires a pilot on the ground in a command unit or a pilot with an arm mounted controller to operate depending on distance and mission. The UAV however requires no pilot because onboard computers (primary and backup) are pre-programed with the mission and fly the directed course as if a pilot was on board. There is an operator on the ground who monitors the mission, performs mission updates or changes through an active up and down link and monitors air vehicle health through the same link. The Global Hawk Takes over from the ground crew after engine start. performs self check of all systems and control surfaces then informs the opertor that she is ready to taxi. The operator then initiates taxi command and the air vehicle "taxis" out to the take-off waypoint and awaits the next command. Once cleared by the tower, the operator then initiates the take-off command and the Global Hawk starts it's mission. Take-off, cruise mission objectives, return to base and landing are then performed autonomously with no operator inputs. She is truly a "free bird". I ended my career working on Global Hawk from inception thru flight ops. Global Hawk also won the Collier Award in 1998. A true "spy in the sky".

    Of much better value is the Gem-7 UAV.
    The Gem-7 has a 13m span, with a 35 hour endurance, but only a $2 million price tag (fully fitted with optics).
    Is the Hawk really worth 100 Gem-7s?
