German newspapers are reporting that at least one Global Hawk will be deployed during the "Unified Vision 2014" manuevers which will take place in the next weeks near Norway.
Does anybody have a hexcode for these ?
As it is supposed to fly over Germany I'd like to set up an alert

It will probably be above 60kft :-) Not sure if they have Mode-S.
The EuroHawk version had ADSB and I picked it up last year before they stopped flying it.
Eurohawk can be seen here flying around Germany last year.
It is Mode S only 3FB101 and was captured using Mlat

However the project was cancelled by the German government as [ alledgedly ] it carries no collision avoidance system
In the main , Global Hawks use the callsign GHUAV and hex 000001
I have picked them up on PP over the US , Guatemala S Korea and the Middle East.
I doubt Eurohawk will be involved , but you never know !
The Global Hawk conducted a mission over the UK in the early hours of Friday ;)
