MQ-28 Ghost Bat Unveiled
Boeing's Loyal Wingman program has reached a significant milestone, with the rollout of the first MQ-28 Ghost Bat unmanned aircraft. The Ghost Bat, previously known as the Boeing Airpower Teaming System (ATS), is a stealth multirole unmanned combat aircraft designed to support other aircraft as a loyal ally.
On March 1, 2021, Boeing Australia and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) celebrated the completion of the first test of the Ghost Bat. This marks a major step forward in the development of the Loyal Wingman program, which aims to create a fleet of unmanned aircraft that can operate alongside manned aircraft in a variety of combat roles.
The Ghost Bat is the result of years of research and development by Boeing Australia. The aircraft is designed to be highly maneuverable and stealthy, and it is equipped with a range of sensors and weapons. The Ghost Bat can be used for a variety of missions, including surveillance, reconnaissance, and strike.
The Loyal Wingman program is a joint effort between Boeing Australia and the RAAF. The program is part of a broader effort to develop unmanned aircraft systems that can enhance the capabilities of the Australian military.
The rollout of the first Ghost Bat is a significant milestone for the Loyal Wingman program. The aircraft is now undergoing further testing, and it is expected to enter service with the RAAF in the coming years.
