Lessons Learned - Inadvertent activation of a flight termination system (FTS) during an Air Force Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) mission.
Year: 1999
Abstract: Description of Driving Event:
During a cross-range flight test mission of the Global Hawk (UAV) from Edwards AFB, CA through the adjacent range operated by NAWC-WD, China Lake, CA, the nominal vehicle inadvertently received the arm and destruct commands from an uninvolved range. Flight vehicle No. 2 was lost as a result. The vehicle crashed without fire (all fuel was expelled from the wingtips) within the restricted area of R2515 with no injuries to personnel or other property.
