• It’s the first of three prototypes for Australia’s Loyal Wingman Advanced Development Program, and the first aircraft to be designed, engineered and manufactured in Australia in more than 50 years. In a news release, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said “Loyal Wingman will be pivotal to exploring the critical capabilities our Air Force needs to protect our nation and its allies into the future.”
• The aircraft serves as the foundation for the Boeing Airpower Teaming System, or ATS, which is being developed for the global defense market. ATS uses artificial intelligence as a force multiplier, to complement and extend airborne missions flown by traditional combat aircraft.
• Loyal Wingman drones are meant to provide fighter-like performance with the capacity to fly more than 2,000 nautical miles (2,300 statute miles). The prototype unveiled today will now begin ground testing, with taxi tests and flight tests due later this year.
