It’s a challenge we didn’t take lightly. How can you extend and expand the capabilities of some of the world’s most elite airpower systems?

By multiplying their capabilities – and exponentially increasing their ability to project force as a result.

The Boeing MQ-28 is a new uncrewed aircraft using artificial intelligence to be that force multiplier.

It’s designed to work as a smart team with existing military aircraft to complement and extend airborne missions.

The MQ-28 has enough capability to get the job done – from ISR to tactical early warning and more – but with a low-cost design that allows operators to confidently put it on the front line.

That’s airpower reimagined.

Airpower Reimagined

The Boeing MQ-28 will provide a disruptive advantage for allied forces’ crewed and uncrewed missions. It will:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Provide fighter-like performance, measuring 38 feet long (11.7m) and able to fly more than 2,000 nautical miles.</li>\r\n<li>Integrate sensor packages onboard to support intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, tactical early warning missions and more.</li>\r\n<li>Use artificial intelligence to fly independently or in support of crewed aircraft while maintaining safe distance between other aircraft.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n"}}" id="text-e84ce33d1b" class="cmp-text">

The Boeing MQ-28 will provide a disruptive advantage for allied forces’ crewed and uncrewed missions. It will:

  • Provide fighter-like performance, measuring 38 feet long (11.7m) and able to fly more than 2,000 nautical miles.
  • Integrate sensor packages onboard to support intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, tactical early warning missions and more.
  • Use artificial intelligence to fly independently or in support of crewed aircraft while maintaining safe distance between other aircraft.
