Australia MQ-28A Ghost Bat (AIR6015)

The MQ-28A Ghost Bat is a collaborative combat aircraft that Boeing Defence Australia is developing and building for the Royal Australian Air Force under the AIR6015 Autonomous Collaborative Platforms (Air) program. The Australian Government has put more than AUD 2.3 billion into its development since 2019, and eight Block 1 test aircraft and three Block 2 aircraft had been ordered or built by late 2025. In December 2025, a day after an MQ-28 fired an AIM-120 missile in a live test, the government announced about AUD 1.4 billion for the program, including an AUD 754 million contract for six operational Block 2 aircraft and a Block 3 prototype. The aim is an operational capability by 2028.
