Construct work is now underway on the $550m facility at Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport where the MQ-28 Ghost Bat will be built.

The aircraft, first unveiled to the world in May 2020, is the first military aircraft designed, engineered and manufactured in Australia in over 50 years. It uses AI to help both crewed and uncrewed aircraft in mid-air, hence its previous Australian project name, Loyal Wingman.

“Boeing Australia is investing to bring this innovative, uncrewed capability to market in the timeframe that supports our customers’ future needs,” said Amy List, Boeing Defence Australia managing director.
