The largest species of ghost bat, or false vampire bat, lives in Australia. Some of the creature’s habits seem to have made it a perfect name for Boeing’s terrifying new drone. The name was chosen, as explained by Airpower Teaming System Australia and international Glen Ferguson when announcing it in March 2022, because the ghost bat is an “Australian mammal known to coexist together in a pack to detect and stalk, [which] reflects the unique characteristics of the aircraft’s sensors and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.” Boeing.
The drone had been in the works for several years before it received this terrifying rating, and it first appeared in May 2020, then known as the Air Force Team System. Defense News mentioned. It is the result of the Loyal Wingman Advanced Development Program, which aims to bring RAAF equipment that can operate as autonomously as possible.
The Boeing MQ-28 “Ghost Bat” is still in development at the time of writing, but it’s certainly set to accomplish that goal and more.
