The RQ-4B Global Hawk is an improved model of the proven RQ-4A Global Hawk Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). It will be bigger than currently deployed RQ-4A vehicles with 50 percent increase in payload. In addition to Electro-Optical sensors integrated in the RQ-4As, the RQ-4B will be able to accommodate SIGINT (Signal Intelligence) payloads for enhanced ISR capabilities.

The RQ-4B vehicle may accommodate further existing or under development payloads such as the MP-RTIP radar system while retaining A-model performance.
