Don&#8217;t be, chances are the civilian flight regulators, in this case EASA, will kill it faster. Germany&#8217;s EuroHawk was denied certification to operate in civilian airspace. Europe air space, the parts that matter are congested. For the EuroHawk to realize its full potential it will need to operate in or near other manned aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>The strange part of the story, is this issue was first brought up 10 years before the purchase that EuroHawk does not have Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). Certification without it will be impossible. In addition Northrup Grumman will not be making changes to accommodate TCAS.\u00a0 So in the end the EuroHawk was cancelled. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelocal.de\/national\/20130515-49719.html#.UZQMT7W-18E\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Northrop_Grumman_RQ-4_Global_Hawk\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is what happens if there is no TCAS.
