An Air Combat Command RQ-4A Global Hawk unmanned aircraft system from the 9th Reconnaissance Wing at Beale Air Force Base, California, made a trans-Atlantic flight on September 20th with the assistance of Navy officials. The 19-hour flight from Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Maryland., to Southwest Asia, had Air Force and Navy officials working together to save time and resources. Going east over the Atlantic has its own significance and demonstrates how the Air Force is committed to providing global vigilance, reach and power in the future by exploring new options, with the flight from Patuxent River NAS as the beginning of an increased relationship between the Air Force and Navy. This trans-Atlantic mission is also a step toward the chief of staff's initiative to increase UAS capacity for the joint fight. The Patuxent River NAS mission was a win-win for the Air Force as well as the Navy, but with joint operations like these, the real winner is the warfighter. Joint operations not only have an effect on logistics of the UAS mission, but it also has the UAS community excited about their future.
