Oh no. 1G is "fighter jet with the afterburners going" and this thing is more in the ballpark of a commercial jet in thrust to weight.

I look at the "business jet" on p.465 of Campaigns and it's Acc 4. Even that might be a little high. Stall sped is probably better than the 55 listed for the business jet though. The Global Hawk has long straight wings.

I'm not using G's, I'm using the formula from Spaceships on the page I listed. That said, I might go with an Acceleration of 4, that probably makes the most sense. Stall speed is garnered from the actual stats for the drone itself...
