Rheinmetall and Boeing establish German MQ-28 integration partnership
Rheinmetall and Boeing agreed to develop a German industrial offering around the MQ-28 Ghost Bat collaborative combat aircraft.
Evidence notes
- Rheinmetall is to act as a German system integrator, incorporating locally sourced sensors, effectors, communications and mission systems around Boeing’s MQ-28 platform.
- The partnership is structured to support German requirements and sovereign integration work rather than simply importing a fixed aircraft configuration.
- The March announcement preceded later additions to the German industrial team; it is not a new 10 August event.
Company context
Rheinmetall develops defense vehicles, weapons systems and unmanned ground platforms, including Mission Master UGVs and robotic systems for military use.
