The MQ-28A Ghost Bat, Unmanned Systems and the Future of Australian Air Power

The MQ-28A Ghost Bat is the first Australian designed and manufactured combat aircraft in over 50 years. Designed by a Boeing led consortium of Australian industry to meet the Royal Australian Air Force's requirements under the Loyal Wingman program, the MQ-28A is a n Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle, or UCAV. Although still a developmental program, the Ghost Bat holds the potential to revolutionize the RAAF's air combat capability. This video explores the possibilities presented by the MQ-28, its probable capabilities and the fundamental premise which underpins the entire program; the autonomous airpower systems and the unmanned-manned airpower team. From ISR to air combat to naval aviation, this humble little drone could well form the foundation for the future of Australian air power throughout the first half of the 21st century. 0:00 A History of Australian Fighter Design 13:45 The MQ-28A, RAAF and the manned-unmanned team 49:09 The Case for Australian Naval Aviation 1:22:22 A Navalised Ghost Bat? 1:52:35 Future Possibilities
