Australian Air Force To Receive Operational Version By 2028
Boeing Australia is making significant strides with its MQ-28 Ghost Bat program, aiming to have the operational version flying for the Australian Air Force by 2028. The program achieved a notable milestone in 2025 with a successful AIM-120 shot from a Ghost Bat flying alongside Boeing’s F/A-18s and E-7. As reported by Aviation Week, Boeing is leveraging this momentum to garner international interest for a later block of the collaborative combat aircraft, potentially expanding the MQ-28’s global presence. The development was first reported by Aviation Week.
