Together with the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), we're contributing to the success of NATO missions by supporting the NISRF with intelligence collection capabilities, through its RQ-4D high-altitude surveillance drone. What you need to know about RQ-4D Phoenix: Superior Capability: As a HALE platform, the RQ-4D Phoenix provides unmatched ISR capability for the NATO alliance. In addition to flying higher, farther, and longer than other unmanned platforms, the Phoenix is equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and equipment providing commanders a comprehensive operating picture of situations on the ground. Empowering Commanders: Operating from its main operating base in Sigonella, Italy, the NATO ISR Force leverages its fleet of five RQ-4Ds to provide vital ISR capabilities to decision-makers. This data provides in-theatre situational awareness and enables a range of missions, including protection of ground troops and civilians, border control and maritime safety, the fight against terrorism, crisis management and humanitarian assistance. High Demand: NATO decision-makers are increasingly relying on the RQ-4D's proven capabilities and while expanding its ISR Force with Northrop Grumman to establish the Force’s technology roadmap spanning the next 20 years.   Read more about RQ-4D Phoenix: https://lnkd.in/gbv74vfR Learn more about #NISRF and NATO Intelligence: https://lnkd.in/gGzMbUjB
