Proteus Test Flight
A Proteus aircraft flies over Southern California Sept. 30 carrying the Global Hawk variant of the new, Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program radar. This is the first flight test of the state-of-the-art radar system, which will be incorporated onto the Global Hawk and, in a larger configuration, onto a wide-body technology demonstrator. The Proteus is a high-altitude aircraft similar in size to Global Hawk.Source: Northrop Grumman
