Nations from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) took an important step towards the delivery of a NATO-owned and operated ground surveillance and reconnaissance capability. A procurement contract, valued at $1.7 billion (€1.2 billion), for the NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) system was signed on May 20, 2012 in the margins of the NATO Summit in Chicago, where leaders from around the world gathered for the two-day summit hosted by President Barack Obama. Based on the Block 40 Global Hawk unmanned aircraft equipped with the Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program sensor, this trans-Atlantic contract supports NATO's intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance requirements for multinational theater operations, peacekeeping missions and disaster relief efforts.
