Australian MQ-28 now also for the U.S. Navy
The MQ-28 Ghost Bat, developed by Boeing Defence Australia in the state of Queensland, is an unmanned combat aircraft (UCAV) that was created in close collaboration with the Australian Air Force. The drone is designed for autonomous use and is intended to operate as a so-called "Loyal Wingman" together with manned fighter jets in the future. Following successful flight tests in 2023 - including in the USA - the US Navy has now also expressed interest in the MQ-28 alongside the US Air Force. In the future, the stealth drone could even be deployed from aircraft carriers. The centrepiece of the Ghost Bat is a specially developed, AI-supported control system that is fully...
