Global Hawk Block 40 Matures

Systems will nearly always be the primary focus of this program as improvements are brought forth.  That isn't to say that the plane couldn't use a more robust approach in the areas of propulsion as well as human factors, because it could.  But what makes it valuable are the boxes that it carries.  The rest is just a pickup truck to get the boxes where they need to be.
