Having already supplied pricing, availability and technical data, Northrop Grumman is hopeful that in the coming weeks the Republic of Korea will sign a letter of acceptance concerning the acquisition of four RQ-4B Global Hawk HALE UAVs, paving the way for a formal request for proposal and contract signature. The potential sale was notified to U.S. Congress in December 2012, and is being conducted via government-to-government channels, with the U.S. Air Force as the contracting agency. South Korea has requested the Block 30 version of the Global Hawk, equipped with the EISS (enhanced integrated sensor suite) that comprises EO/IR sensor and SLAR/GMTI radar.
