Hurlburt Field preferred for MQ-1 remote split-operation unit
Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley and Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. Norton Schwartz announced in May 2011 that the Eglin Complex in Florida was the candidate location for the Air Force Reserve Command MQ-1 remote split-operations squadron. The Eglin complex includes Eglin Air Force Base, Hurlburt Field, Duke Field, Camp Rudder and Choctaw Field.

Pilots & Planes Military » Euro Hawk UAS landed in Germany
The first EURO HAWK unmanned aircraft system (UAS) is expected to land soon in Germany. The aircraft, which took off from Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., on Wednesday, July 20, at approximately 11:50 Central European Summer Time, touched down at Manching Air Base on Thursday, July 21, at approximately 10:06 Central European Summer Time.
The Euro Hawk developed and built for the German Ministry of Defence, is the first international derivative of the combat-proven, high-flying RQ-4 Global Hawk HALE UAS. It is also Northrop Grumman’s first trans-Atlantic cooperation with Germany and EADS Deutschland GmbH, operating through Cassidian, the defence and security division of EADS.
Based on the Block 20 configuration, Euro Hawk will be equipped with a new signals intelligence (SIGINT) mission system developed by Cassidian, providing standoff capability to detect electronic intelligence (ELINT) and communications intelligence (COMINT) emitters.
A ground station consisting of a mission control and launch and recovery elements will be provided by Northrop Grumman. Cassidian will provide a SIGINT ground station, which will receive and analyze the data from Euro Hawk® as part of an integrated system solution.
With a wingspan larger than a commercial airliner, endurance of more than 30 hours and a maximum altitude of more than 60,000 feet, Euro Hawk® is an interoperable, modular and cost-effective replacement to the aging fleet of manned Breguet Atlantic aircraft, which have been in service since 1972 and will be retired in 2010.
