YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan (AFNS) — \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

U.S. Pacific Air Forces<\/a><\/strong> began positioning RQ-4 Global Hawks<\/strong><\/a> at Yokota Air Base<\/strong><\/a>, Japan, from Andersen Air Force Base<\/strong><\/a>, Guam, May 15 to provide theater-wide enduring operations in support of maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n

The Global Hawk\u2019s mission is to provide a broad range of U.S. intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities to support joint forces, and Allies and partners in worldwide peacetime, contingency and crisis operations.<\/p>\n

The Global Hawk serves as a high-altitude, long-endurance, remotely piloted and unarmed, aerial reconnaissance system. The aircraft provides persistent, day and night, high-resolution, all-weather imagery of large geographic areas with an array of integrated sensors and cameras.<\/p>\n

The RQ-4 Global Hawk is a high-altitude, long-endurance, remotely piloted aircraft with an integrated sensor suite that provides global all-weather, day or night intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capability. Global Hawk’s mission is to provide a broad spectrum of ISR collection capability to support joint combatant forces in worldwide peacetime, contingency and wartime operations. The Global Hawk provides persistent near-real-time coverage using imagery intelligence (IMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT) and moving target indicator (MTI) sensors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0The Global Hawk also supports humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations such as during Operation Tomodachi<\/strong><\/a>, when the Defense Department mobilized 24,000 service members to assist Japan with disaster relief after a 9.0-magnitude earthquake hit the northeastern Honshu coast March 11, 2011, resulting in a tsunami that flooded the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant.<\/p>\n

The Global Hawk has been rotationally operating from Yokota AB since 2017.<\/p>\n
