2003年10月一架“全球鹰”在欧洲天空成功完成了德国人交给它的一些情报收集和空中侦察系统的测试任务。这架装备了新型任务系统和传感器的“全球鹰”被德国人称为“欧洲鹰”。2003年3月的时候,这看起来还只是个遥不可及的目标,但是现在美国空军的诺斯罗普·格鲁门“全球鹰”RQ-4A无人侦察机已经自由翱翔在了德国的上空。这同时也为欧洲的EADB公司提供了相当大的帮 In October 2003 a “Global Hawk” successfully completed the testing tasks of some intelligence gathering and aerial reconnaissance systems handed over to it by the Germans in the sky of Europe. This “Global Hawk”, equipped with new mission systems and sensors, has been called “European Hawk” by the Germans. That looks like a distant goal in March 2003, but now the U.S. Air Force's Northrop Grumman and the Global Hawk RQ-4A unmanned reconnaissance aircraft are free to fly Over Germany This also provides considerable help to EADB in Europe
