KQ - X KQ - X is a $ 33 million DARPA program awarded to Northrop Grumman Corporation on July 1 , 2010 . KQ - X will investigate and develop Autonomous Aerial Refueling techniques using two NASA Global Hawk high altitude long endurance ( HALE ) unmanned aerial vehicles ( UAV ) . Northrop Grumman plans to retrofit two of the HALE UAVs so that one aircraft can pump fuel into the other while in flight via a hose - and - drogue refueling system . Several aspects of the KQ - X program are considered revolutionary : not only will the aerial refueling be autonomous , but since Global Hawks are classified as HALE UAVs , the refueling tests will occur at an altitude higher than that typically performed using manned aircraft . The test will also be the first time that HALE UAVs have been flown in formation . Engineering work will be completed at the Northrop Grumman Unmanned Systems Development Center in Rancho Bernardo , California . Pilots from NASA , NOAA , and Northrop Grumman will fly the Global Hawks from the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base , also in California . Sargent Fletcher Inc . and Sierra Nevada Corporation are major KQ - X subcontractors . The first flight demonstrations occurred from January 11 , 2012 to May 30 . Milestones achieved included the lead receiver aircraft extending and retracting its aerial refueling hose several times , the trail tanker aircraft successfully demonstrating precision control in formation with manual and automated “ breakaway ” maneuvers for safety , the two Global Hawks successfully flying in close formation , at times as close as 30 feet away , and one aircraft flying more than 2 . 5 hours under autonomous formation control with the other flying within 100 ft .

Bendix AN / FPS - 14 Radar The AN / FPS - 14 was a medium - range search Radar used by the United States Air Force Air Defense Command . This medium - range search radar was designed and built by Bendix as a SAGE system gap - filler radar to provide low - altitude coverage . Operating in the S - band at a frequency between 2700 and 2900 MHz , the AN / FPS - 14 could detect at a range of 65 miles . The system was deployed in the late 1950s and 1960s at unmanned radar facilities ( called " Gap Fillers " ) designed to fill the low - altitude gaps between manned long - range radar stations . Gaps in coverage existed due to the curvature of the earth , mountains , hills , valleys , rivers , and so forth . The typical unmanned gap - filler radar annex consisted of a small L - shaped cinder - block building , with the radar equipment and the data - transmission equipment in one section and one or more diesel generators in the other section . These unmanned gap - filler sites generally had a three - legged radar tower about 85 feet tall where the AN / FPS - 14 Radar was mounted inside a radome .
