THE BOEING COMPANY

Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS), a division of The Boeing Company, develops advanced unmanned systems including a new family of tiltrotor combat drones like the Collaborative Rotorcraft (CxR) for reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, attack missions supporting U.S. Army helicopters such as the Apache, and the Collaborative Logistics Rotorcraft (CLR) for cargo in contested environments. These Group 4/5 drones feature modular designs based on V-22 Osprey experience, high speeds of 200-250 knots, and autonomous operations to extend warfighter reach while reducing risks. Boeing plays a key role in the drone industry through these collaborative rotorcraft, informed by programs like MQ-28 Ghost Bat and competing with rivals like Sikorsky's Nomad.
