The RQ-4 Global Hawk is a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) in service with the US Armed Forces.The UAV is remote controlled, meaning that the pilot could very well be miles away from the craft as so to reduce the risk of capture in the event of it crashing in enemy territory. It's duties are much akin to the duties of a manned U-2: spying and reconnaissance. ru:RQ-4 Global Hawk
