MS-177 Sensor Successfully Completes First Flight Test on Global Hawk and Provides Better Image Resolution

摘要

UTC Aerospace Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp., has successfully executed the first flight test of its new MS-177 long-range, multi-spectral imaging (MSI) sensor on the Northrop Grumman RQ-4B Global Hawk Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). With this successful completion of the flight test, the U.S. military will soon be able to view airborne images with greater clarity and at a greater distance for the very first time. The test was conducted on February 8 at Northrop Grumman's Palmdale, California, facility.
