"Not that I can talk about" lol
+The Generalissimo
I know right, curiosity has stricken me.
Off camera, Grant is hyperventilating and drooling a tad bit.
RIP Grant
F
No longer he ain't.
You mean "off world"
When Jamie asks what the infrared sensor is for, the answer that it was used to find hotspots in the Fukushima reactor is a much nicer way of saying it's designed to find people that need to be eliminated.
True
@@osamabinladen824 Of course it would be you.
@@legotaku_yt1108 What
The Global Hawk UAV, an Unmanned Air Vehicle, unlike an RPA, Remotely Piloted Aircraft. The difference is that an RPA requires a pilot on the ground in a command unit or a pilot with an arm mounted controller to operate depending on distance and mission. The UAV however requires no pilot because onboard computers (primary and backup) are pre-programed with the mission and fly the directed course as if a pilot was on board. There is an operator on the ground who monitors the mission, performs mission updates or changes through an active up and down link and monitors air vehicle health through the same link. The Global Hawk Takes over from the ground crew after engine start. performs self check of all systems and control surfaces then informs the opertor that she is ready to taxi. The operator then initiates taxi command and the air vehicle "taxis" out to the take-off waypoint and awaits the next command. Once cleared by the tower, the operator then initiates the take-off command and the Global Hawk starts it's mission. Take-off, cruise mission objectives, return to base and landing are then performed autonomously with no operator inputs. She is truly a "free bird". I ended my career working on Global Hawk from inception thru flight ops. Global Hawk also won the Collier Award in 1998. A true "spy in the sky".
Cool🦅
Can the hawk be used as an RPA?
The flying Xenomorph.
👍
👊
These are on sale now for 599 dollars each + free shipping ; )
buy one get one free lmao
That's a bomb deal
@@anchorbait6662 Nice
LOLz, "NOT!"
I liked this one. I didn't know they had any U2s that were still operational. I wonder what what Adam would have thought of flying an SR71 Blackbird? Wouldn't THAT be a trip!!
Yep
@@osamabinladen824 bro???? osama what you doing
"NOT... hehe"
Jamie wants Global Hawk. LOL
Jamie is trolling
What a good name for a aircraft!
Wow. You know Jamie’s enjoying himself when he’s laughing at the “Global Hawk” comment.
thank you zogbot, very cool.
Jaimie well and truly out of his depth there :P
She is one beautiful plane...
Jamie was so happy it was unsettling
It was a state of art !!! CONDOLENCES? keep the rest safe away from the strait of Hormuz!! would you!!??
Now, if the Pink Protester would quit hanging around the gates, that would be great.
These are fully autonomous, the pilot just monitors what it’s up to
Pretty much like any airline on autopilot
Yeah ---one word-----WOW!
One of these was destroyed today by the Iranian Air Force.
The rest of these UAVs are for us.
Laughing :D
😂 I see that today as well. They cost for one $111. Million.
yes a billion dollar drone ,use like a targuet pay whith taxes from worker in USA.
This, along with 'reaper' (unarmed), is what replaced the air force RF-4Cs.
Hope HTC Didn't Make Those Guy's Plane Camera
u think a shit cell phone company would manufacture any parts for a hi-tech plane like this! moron. military-grade equipment compared to cell phone is like comparing a new gold-plated bugatti chiron to a 1990 honda civic. this plane costs 200 million
Besides both of you not being able to completely be able to have any idea of the englash languogo, you're a fucking dipshit for not realizing that perhaps he was being slightly cheeky and sarcastic.
We called her the red queen and this is not a funny thing. She gave us orders autonomously. This was 15 years ago, be afraid.
Are there cameras to let the operator "see" the horizon and airspace, or do they just always trust the artificial horizon, altimeter, etc.?
+christosvoskresye There is a nose camera, but it's only used for taxi. Flight is via preprogrammed navigational waypoints or IFR if they want to deviate from the flight plan.
looks so bumpy
Me tested the IMMC Software on that.
"This is for finding targe.....I mean, it takes pictures."
You got the wrong RPA
Camera in the front is nothing more than a guidance camera. When hes talking about the sensors, this is not the camera he is talking about.
There you have it folks- there’s your Area 51 footage 20 years ago
You mean area 52
That joke at the end reminds me of my uncle when he is trying to "be down like us kids"
I thought the black hawk is smaller that a jet
You know he probably operates them now
I bet you could put a 4 or 6 place cockpit and glass canopy and have a hell of a plane for that weekend get away!
222 MILLION BUCKS EACH FOLKS. Our military industrial complex at work.
You are welcome
S I C K ! ! !
Nice, but expensive - $200 million..!
Of much better value is the Gem-7 UAV.
The Gem-7 has a 13m span, with a 35 hour endurance, but only a $2 million price tag (fully fitted with optics).
Is the Hawk really worth 100 Gem-7s?
P S.
You’re joking right
As an RC pilot I'd love a chance to fly one of those babies. Lol.
One billion dollars it must be made of diamonds
+Chambel Patras its worth 222 million
is this the drone that likes to crash weddings?
This isn't a drone its a RPA
Flying over and controlling.
Its above Ukraine scanning the border
So they are known as "RPA"? Thank you very much, and here I thought they were called "UAV". Silly me!
RPA implies a human in the loop. UAV is the more general term.
thats a pretty big plain for just carrying two cameras... What sort of equipment do u think it really caries?
+ogradyv Highly advanced cameras, thermal sensors, radar, satellite communications, gps, flight control electronics, communication electronics, batteries, a lot of fuel, a big engine, etc. If you were to put that all in a manned plane, it would actually be a lot bigger, so its a pretty small plane for what you get in it
+ogradyv It's a really, really big camera, haha. And actually, the bigger sensor underneath is a RADAR, not a camera...it takes up a lot of space.
+Jason Bonedi All of that plus defensive systems are in a U-2, which has a smaller wingspan but much higher performance. Plus a human brain that can't be tricked by electronic spoofing.
+John Smith Comparing a jet built in the 50's to a brand new UAV, sure they're totally the same.
'96 VR-4 Spyder The current U-2s were redesigned and built in the late 80s, and have been upgraded several times since. The sensors are the newest of the new.
absolutely no weapons 🤔
U2 SR 71 BLACK BIRD AUTONOMOUS AIRCRAFT GLOBAL HAWK SENSOR RECON
Enemy UAV spotted!
Does it have Wifi tho?
Typical kid, you'd probably go into withdrawals like a heroin addict if you didn't have wifi huh?
For that price it better
Scotty Weißmüller Can’t understand a joke? Your the kid here.
I bet you a nickel he has an AK-47
I hate people with initials except for MFA all the other ones are just troublemakers showing how pompous they are
Never trust anyone who uses mustache wax?
it was the best spy drone of america....you are kidding me guys...remember 3rd-khordad for ever.
Jamie did a joke.
Iran ,...…… nice shoot
its a defenceless drone! hardly brave shooting it down lol
We should arm those things.
Kolin Martz That one is only for reconnaissanc,e but the MQ-9 Reaper is the missile equipped variant. (So yea we have)
piggystriker2 The globalhawk provides a platform that can carry more payload and have longer endurance. Not to mention it's harder to detect due to it's higher altitude. It just seems like a missed opportunity to me.
+Kolin Martz That makes about as much sense as trying to arm the U-2 : /
+piggystriker2, MQ-9, totally different bird, different genealogy. lol.
+Kolin Martz It doesn't fly high enough to avoid any serious threat.
So U.A.V???
DaBurgaRapta ‘ no
@@ryanschaff123 Technically, yes.
It's a "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle".
this thing looks exactly like the drone "euro hawk" from the german military ;)
NO CONTENT FOUND The “euro hawk” is based on this.. the “euro hawk” looks like this.
Is that the heroin hauler?
It is fun watching these things flying on the Ukrainian border.
50k + feet up I wonder If it can see all the way into kyiv
Yeah ive seen on aplication yesterday global Hawk on eastern flank in Poland
🚀🇮🇷♥️🇦🇫🦾🍌🇺🇸haha lol
STOP RUNNING ADS THAT DON'T WORK ON MOBILE! During the time it took me to write this comment, the video still hasn't loaded!
"it doesn't have any weapons" yesh in the same way as the scope on my ar-15 doesn't actually do the shooting. Gotta love the nuance of words.
You got the wrong RPA
Iran
SHUTDOWN BY 3RD KHORDAD SYSTEM BY IRAN 🇮🇷😂
Nobody cares... "First" scrub.
By writing this comment you provide evidence you actually DO care.
Fukushima disaster 😂😂😂 brilliant, maybe they should paint in a gayer colour and call it "Fwend"
36 hours over a battle space is great, but they're getting better, but the Orion almost made this thing obsolete.
to be more precise... 100 million dollar. and iran shot it down for maximum of 20-50k maybe?
1500dolar price iran misel
And? This mattered because?
Irani par par
I find it very hard to believe that a military craft has no weapons.
Plenty of them don’t.....
Not everything is the tip of the spear
it's a surveillance craft that specifically does surveillance.. it's not really that surprising that it doesnt have any weapons. there's plenty of military aircraft that dont have weapon systems.
Yo dude we wish you a very happy new year new to pheasant 17 Poop Loop we're gonna be partying drinking and having fun here XO XO love your son Travis Robertson
"Electronics" Bomb storages...
+Andy Gonzalez aerospaceblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/06-01-01_rq-4a-flight-magazine.jpg
Bombs, you say?
+Andy Gonzalez more like radar, cameras, computers, sat dish, ECM jammers, fuel tanks,
They don't want you to know.
Andy Gonzalez it cannot carry bombs
the predator c avenger is designed for that, the predator c has a internal bay (its a stealth drone) and the option of external hard points for weapons
they have other UAV that have weapons called predator. this is just for spying/surveillance idiot. The secrets they hide are about the technology the plane has because its for spying.
& ir shoot down🤣🤣
I like how all of you are laughing about it like it's an acheivement. It's not exactly hard to shoot down, it's not exactly an extreme altitude, high performance aircraft like the blackbird.
NAHT! Hue hue
Eeeeeewwww, a global chicken... (Sorry, I'm an air force brat from a U2 mechanic)
+Joshua Camp the u-2 is almost irreplaceable, it has a better performance and is not effected by electronic warfare, the global ``chicken`` can be jammed, hacked or tracked by the enemy if the operating forces are not careful
+๖ۣۜCOFFEbiscuit๖ۣۜ 1 I grew up on Beale, by dad made it so that I was able to crawl all around the beautiful bird. Long live the U2!
Iran shot one😂
Evil weapons, truly evil.
its a flying camera not a weapon
"Fly over Fukushima and see that the rectors had overheated"... Is that really the best example he could come up with.
How about "Find innocent civilians with the thermal camera and lase them for a bomb drop to cause maximum civilian casualties."
You suck
Boohoo
usa is a paper tiger, and day by day being pull apart.. :Y
Iran's passanger planes seem to be being pulled apart more. Wouldn't you say? lol
But Iran 💣💥 it😎
First
Tangled parsnips in a sour yogurt dip.
That shitty, heroic music doesn't make it more interesting.... OMG... 🤦♂🤦♂
This is junk iran was able to shot down by their domestically develop surface to air missile and this junk costs 200 mill $
US GOVT is ashamed of accepting that this piece of hitech tecnology and power is shot down by Taliban and now IRAN SO sad rest in peace global hawk🕯🕯🕯🎈
its just a drone, calm down
iran🇮🇷💪😅😘⚡
