Manufacturer Northrop Grumman expects South Korea and the United States to sign a letter of acceptance for four RQ-4 Block 30 Global Hawk High-Altitude Long-Endurance (HALE) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) soon, a company official said at the Singapore Airshow on 11 February.

2月11日，一位诺格工作人员在新加坡航展上称，诺格公司希望美国与韩国能够早日把4架RQ-4 Block 30全球鹰高空长航时（HALE)无人机（UAVs）的中标通知书（LoA）给签下来。

George Guerra, vice president of HALE Strategic Systems for Northrop Grumman, said there continued to be "lots of interest" from South Korea in the Global Hawk since a 21 December 2012 notification to the US Congress by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).

乔治·格拉，诺格公司HALE战术系统的副总裁，说自从2012年12月21日美国国防合作委员（DSCA）会递交给美国国会一份通告之后，韩国就对全球鹰表现出了“极大的兴趣”。

At the time the potential sale was valued at USD1.2 billion and would have seen Global Hawks fitted with the Raytheon Enhanced Integrated Sensor Suite (EISS) . The EISS comprises an electro-optical/infrared sensor, synthetic aperture radar, and ground-moving target indicator elements. The deal also included a signals intelligence and imagery intelligence exploitation package, as well as communications and support equipment.

这项价值12亿美元的预期中的交易将会见证全球鹰装备上雷神公司增强集成传感器套件（EISS）。EISS包括一个光电/红外传感器，合成孔径雷达和地面移动目标指示器。这桩交易也将包括通信情报（编者注：这个还卖啊？）和图像情报开发方案，同时也包括通信和支持装备。
An apparent U-turn by the South Korean Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) in early 2012 based on price concerns has apparently been overcome, with Guerra saying that since the DSCA notification, Northrop Grumman had been working with the US Air Force on pricing availability requests for South Korea and had sent an offer to DAPA. "We're waiting to hear from them," he said, "and a letter of acceptance (LoA) is expected soon".

2012初韩国国防采办计划管理部门（DAPA）的态度就来了一个大转弯，因为价格问题已经被克服，并且据格拉所说，自从DSCA的那份通告发布出来之后，诺格公司就与美国空军合作讨论如何给可能的交易定价，并已向DAPA出了价。“我们正等着韩方的意思，”他说，“我们期望LoA能够早日签署。”

After the LoA, DAPA will pass the deal over to the Republic of Korea Air Force for approval. Guerra said he was hopeful of a final contract signature before the end of 2014 on a package that includes four air vehicles and two ground stations.

LoA之后，DAPA会通过这一笔交易并向韩国空军询问赞成与否。（编者注：可能有错，欢迎纠错）格拉说他认为在2014年结束前这项交易（4架飞机和2个地面站）是否能完成持乐观态度。

Guerra added that there was "good progress" on Japan's requirement for three Global Hawks, which was outlined in the December 2013 National Defense Program Guidelines published by Tokyo. Japan has requested pricing availability data from Northrop Grumman, Guerra said. Tokyo budgeted JPY100 million (USD1 million) in its fiscal year 2014 defence budget to examine procuring HALE UAVs with the Global Hawk expected to be the only platform under consideration.

格拉还说日本的3架全球鹰要求已经取得了“不错的进展”，该消息是在2013年防卫大纲出来时公之于众的。日本方方面已经向诺格公司要了有关定价的可用数据，格拉表示。东京在2014财年安排出了1亿日圆（100万美元）的预算来调查有关争取UAVs的事项（全球鹰是唯一候选平台）。

Guerra said he believed the rotation through Misawa Air Base of US Air Force Global Hawks currently based in Andersen Air Base, Guam, from this year will help the Japan Air Self-Defense Force to familiarise itself with the platform and its capabilities before an acquisition of its own systems. Northrop Grumman will also transfer some maintenance and support staff to Misawa to assist

格拉说他相信全球鹰在日本三泽空军基地与关岛安德森空军基地的轮值将给日本航空自卫队一个熟悉全球鹰和加入它之后自己的能力的机会。诺格公司也将会运送一些维修和支持设备到三泽作为协助。

没什么话好说，太忙了，有一大堆航展的报道可以翻，大家先看着吧。
