USAF, Navy To Coordinate Guam Global Hawks

[ErnstBlofeld]

Aviation Week and Space Technology/Bradley Perrett:

U.S. Air Force and Navy Global Hawks operating from Andersen AFB in Guam may share ground support and occasionally cover each other’s missions as part of a June 12 agreement between the two services to coordinate their high-altitude surveillance operations.

Speaking at a ceremony Sept. 20 to mark the arrival of the first of three Global Hawks to be based in Guam, Lt. Gen. Herbert Carlisle, commander of 13th Air Force, and Pacific Air Forces Cmdr. Gen. Gary North said the unmanned aircraft are not being deployed for operations against any particular country.
