The Firebird is operational.

via Popular Mechanics.
The Firebird, Northrop Grumman's new intelligence, surveillance, and recon (ISR) aircraft, has caught the eye of a certain unnamed special ops command or intelligence agency, which has ordered 10 of them.


Hmmm.  I'm guessing Homeland Security.  SOCOM has all the intel assets it needs...probably too many UAVs.  Possibly the CIA but didn't they just give up the drone mission to the Pentagon?  Or is it that they just gave up the kill mission?  Its got to be Homeland Security, nothing else makes sense.
