All-Encompassing System Development & Verification Environment is a Must Global Hawk is not a UAV. Global Hawk is a SYSTEM. In order to develop and test this system, a Systems Center provides the following capabilities to ensure total system verification before each flight event. � An environment which exactly represents the vehicle baseline(s) and permits version management The Systems Center provides: � Test planning and procedural development for the air vehicle segment, the ground segment and any number of individual payload subsystems � Hardware and software integration at the subsystem, segment and systems levels � System software development, test and integration � Mission planning and validation � Flight control and monitoring � Payload control and monitoring NPS041003 55
