The 46,000 SF Hangar for the remotely piloted RQ-4B Global Hawk Aircraft is located north of Sacramento, at Beale AFB, CA. The project includes a high expansive foam fire protection system and a 400HZ power distribution system. The floors received an epoxy coating and a vindicator security system is installed.
The facility consists of two aircraft bays, each 175 feet wide and a two story office complex between the bays. The first RQ-4B Aircraft rolled off the assembly line in August 2006 with two more that were delivered in 2006 and five more in 2007. The RQ-4B UAV Aircraft has a range of 12,000 miles, can fly for 28 hours at 60,000 feet and has a 50% increase in payload over the RQ-4A Model.
