Boeing unveiled the MQ-28A Ghost Bat Block 3 on June 10 with a feature that changes the game for autonomous air combat: internal weapons bays carrying AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles and GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs \u2014 without breaking its stealth profile.\n\nUntil now, the Ghost Bat was a sensor truck. Block 3 turns it into a shooter.\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f4f4f4;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:18px 22px;margin:28px 0;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:17px\">\u2708 Quick Facts<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:18px\">\n<li><strong>Aircraft:<\/strong> Boeing MQ-28A Ghost Bat Block 3<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revealed:<\/strong> ILA Berlin Air Show, June 10, 2026 (Boeing + Rheinmetall)<\/li>\n<li><strong>New:<\/strong> Two internal weapons bays \u2014 each carries 1\u00d7 AIM-120 AMRAAM or 2\u00d7 GBU-39\/GBU-53 SDB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Range:<\/strong> 2,000+ nautical miles (3,700 km)<\/li>\n<li><strong>MTOW:<\/strong> 12,000 lb (up from 10,000 lb), useful load exceeds 4,500 lb<\/li>\n<li><strong>First operational CCA:<\/strong> RAAF service planned 2028 \u2014 potentially the world&#8217;s first<\/li>\n<li><strong>First live-fire:<\/strong> AIM-120 AMRAAM fired December 8, 2025 (Trial Kareela, Woomera)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">From Sensor Truck to Stealth Shooter<\/h2>\n\nThe original Ghost Bat was designed to fly alongside manned fighters as a &#8220;loyal wingman&#8221; \u2014 carrying sensors, electronic warfare packages, and ISR payloads in its modular 1.5-cubic-metre nose bay. Useful, but unarmed.\n\nBlock 3 changes the equation. Two flush-fitting internal weapons stations now house medium-range air-to-air missiles or precision ground-attack bombs entirely inside the fuselage, preserving the aircraft&#8217;s validated low-observable radar cross-section. Boeing confirmed the RCS was tested in its own anechoic chamber.\n\n<div style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,#f8f9ff 0%,#eef1ff 100%);border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:22px 26px;margin:32px 0;border-radius:0 10px 10px 0\"><p style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.6;color:#333;margin:0 0 12px;font-style:italic\">&#8220;That additional capacity gives operators freedom to balance payload and endurance to configure for the mission at hand, whether that means carrying extra fuel for longer-range operations, increasing weapons carriage, or any combination of both.&#8221;<\/p><p style=\"margin:0;font-weight:600;color:#1565c0;font-size:14px\">\u2014 Glen Ferguson, MQ-28 Global Program Director, Boeing<\/p><\/div>\n\nThe wing is 25 percent larger than earlier blocks, adding 2,000 lb of additional fuel and payload capacity. Maximum takeoff weight climbs from 10,000 to 12,000 lb, and useful load now exceeds 4,500 lb.\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">AMRAAM Already Proven<\/h2>\n\nThis is not a paper capability. On December 8, 2025, an MQ-28 launched an AIM-120 AMRAAM during Trial Kareela at Woomera, South Australia, destroying a Phoenix target drone. It was the first time a collaborative combat aircraft fired a beyond-visual-range missile.\n\nBlock 3 adds beyond-line-of-sight communications, meaning a pilot in an F-35 \u2014 or an operator at a ground station or on a ship \u2014 can direct the drone from unlimited standoff range. The RAAF has already demonstrated two Ghost Bats controlled simultaneously by an E-7A Wedgetail.\n\nThree external hardpoints provide additional weapons carriage when stealth is not required, giving commanders a sliding scale between survivability and firepower.\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Germany Wants In<\/h2>\n\nThe ILA Berlin reveal was a sales pitch. Boeing and Rheinmetall announced a strategic partnership in March 2026 to offer the Ghost Bat to the German Luftwaffe. Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger said: &#8220;If they want to have the plane by 2029, my expectation is that by at least next year, we have to go into the final stage of negotiating the contract.&#8221;\n\nFerguson went further: &#8220;This is the third iteration of design now. It will be in service with the Royal Australian Air Force in 2028, and I am fairly certain that it will be the first operational CCA anywhere in the world.&#8221;\n\nThat claim carries weight. Boeing has completed more than 150 test sorties and over 20,000 hours of digital testing since the program was publicly unveiled in 2019. First flight was February 27, 2021. Boeing disclosed in May 2026 that the first U.S. flights had been completed at Point Mugu, California.\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why Internal Bays Matter<\/h2>\n\nWhen weapons hang on external pylons, they dramatically increase radar cross-section. Block 3 solves this by housing missiles inside flush-fitting bays that preserve the low-observable profile. The Ghost Bat can penetrate contested airspace while armed, rather than choosing between stealth and lethality.\n\nNo other known CCA carries medium-range air-to-air missiles internally. That puts the Ghost Bat in a class previously occupied only by fifth-generation manned fighters. For force planners, a single manned fighter directing multiple armed, stealthy Ghost Bats creates a distributed combat network that multiplies firepower without multiplying pilot risk.\n\n\n\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SyudGvwFyAs\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:8px\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<em>Sources: Boeing, The War Zone, Breaking Defense, Janes<\/em>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The drone everyone wanted to see at ILA Berlin just got dangerous.
