Boeing validates MQ-28 Ghost Bat stealth in radar cross-section testing

Boeing

Boeing said on June 1 it has completed radar cross-section testing on the MQ-28 Ghost Bat Collaborative Combat Aircraft, validating the unmanned wingman's low-observable design across azimuth, elevation, and roll inside its anechoic test chamber. The RCS data - gathered to inform customer survivability and detection-risk models - confirms the production design's stealth shaping and material choices and is another maturity marker for the Australia-led program now flying operationally in the United States.
