MQ-28
A smart, uncrewed force multiplier
Overview
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.

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.
Global System
The Boeing MQ-28 is the company’s first uncrewed system to be designed and developed in Australia.
Designed to provide a transformational capability for global defense customers, it is the company’s largest investment in a new uncrewed aircraft program outside the United States. This purpose-built aircraft can be missionized to suit country-specific needs.
- This newest addition to Boeing’s defense portfolio will be a force multiplier for global customers.
- The Boeing team in Australia has developed a completely new uncrewed production-ready system, with the inclusion of Australian suppliers.
- Boeing has invested in a purpose-built system that leverages advanced manufacturing and digital production capabilities.
- The program uses Boeing’s global R&D expertise, as well as a strong industry team of agile global suppliers, with the ability to support national prosperity and sovereignty objectives.
