Rheinmetall sets up Boeing MQ-28 Ghost Bat integration in Germany

On August 10, 2026, Rheinmetall announced its creation of a dedicated system integration facility within Germany to support the Boeing MQ-28 Ghost Bat unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) program. This independent capability will focus specifically on integrating systems for the Ghost Bat project. The company’s efforts are intended to bolster European participation and collaboration surrounding the development of this advanced aircraft. Rheinmetall is not directly involved in the manufacturing of the Ghost Bat itself but rather concentrating on the crucial integration process. This initiative represents a significant step towards realizing the full potential of the MQ-28 platform through enhanced European contributions.
