EuroHawk GmbH, Northrop Grumman and EADS statement on the EURO HAWK program
(PresseBox) (Immenstaad, )“The full EURO HAWK system, including the mission control system and the sensor, has performed flawlessly and safely throughout the entire flight test program.
“Media reports that indicate there are challenges with the aircraft’s flight control system, as well as excessive costs associated with completing airworthiness certification, are also inaccurate.
“EuroHawk GmbH will continue to work with the customer to address any concerns they may have with the system; and the team will provide an affordable and achievable plan to complete flight testing of the initial asset and the eventual production and fielding of the full system of four additional aircraft.”
