Test
flights out of Edwards Air Force Base provided the first demonstration

Another test saw positive results from new
MP-RTIP maritime modes, demonstrating the collection capabilities that
make the Global Hawk relevant to the Arctic and Mediterranean missions
of the NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance (NATO AGS) system.
