About Global Observer®



By maximizing flight endurance Global Observer offers greater operating time and coverage for fewer dollars.

Every Global Observer component is designed for maximum flexibility and flight endurance. A revolutionary liquid hydrogen-fueled propulsion system, extremely light airframe and highly portable ground control station add up to extreme endurance. Extreme endurance equals continuous surveillance and communication at a lower cost than other available solutions.

From the stratosphere Global Observer will act like a 12-mile-high, flexible satellite covering an area of up to 600 miles in diameter. Many high-value missions are enabled by such a high vantage point. More endurance. Less cost. A solution that makes sense.
