Editors Note:
This contract was first announced on May 8, but now, this $60 Million contract includes only five RQ-4B Global Hawks, instead of six. The May 8 announcement was incorrect and had already been removed by the DoD. The original announcement on May 8 was a $60 million contract for 6 RQ-4B Global Hawks.
