Rheinmetall And Boeing Australia Team Up For Luftwaffe Bid

Germany’s interest in the MQ-28 Ghost Bat has led to a formal industrial partnership between Rheinmetall and Boeing Australia, aiming to offer the uncrewed aircraft to the Bundeswehr. The announcement follows German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius’ statement that the Ghost Bat was under consideration for the Luftwaffe. Rheinmetall will serve as system manager, handling integration and logistics, with revenue potential in the three-digit millions of euros range. The partnership was announced after a series of tests, including the first live firing of an AIM-120 AMRAAM by an MQ-28A. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
