# Boeing MQ-28 – Uncrewed Collaborative Combat Aircraft

The MQ-28, also called the 'Loyal Wingman,' is an advanced uncrewed combat aircraft by Boeing, designed to operate alongside crewed military platforms. It extends the capabilities of manned aircraft, providing persistent ISR, enhanced survivability, and operational flexibility in contested airspaces.

Key Features

• Force Multiplier: Collaborates with manned aircraft to fuse sensor and payload data, enhancing ISR, tactical early warning, and mission effectiveness.

• Autonomy & Modular Design: Features autonomous operation with an open system architecture and a modular nose for mission-specific payloads.

• Performance: Offers fighter-like flight performance, with a length of 11.7 m and operational range exceeding 2,000 nautical miles, supporting both manned and uncrewed operations.

• Affordability & Scalability: Low-cost design enables deployment of multiple aircraft, increasing combat mass and reducing risk to manned assets.

• Global Adaptability: Developed with flexibility for integration of country-specific systems and allied interoperability.

Operational Advantages

• Rapid mission reconfiguration.

• Reduced risk to crewed platforms.

• Extended ISR and operational coverage.

• Trusted autonomy for high-tempo operations.
