The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) is one of the 13 Best Aerospace and Defense Stocks to Invest in Now. On June 16, The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) in collaboration with Royal Australian Air Force announced a successful first-of-its-kind demonstration.

Under the demonstration, two uncrewed MQ-28 Ghost Bat aircraft, along with a third digital aircraft, were controlled simultaneously by a single operator aboard an airborne E-7A Wedgetail surveillance aircraft. The MQ-28s acted as forward escorts, flying ahead of and protecting crewed assets, showcasing their role as collaborative combat aircraft that can expand and enhance the operational capabilities of the E-7A Wedgetail.

The trial validated a critical interoperability requirement, proving the ability to integrate mission partners’ software and communication systems natively into the E-7A Wedgetail’s open systems architecture. Moreover, the software enabling this integration was developed collaboratively by The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) Defence Australia, the Defence Science and Technology Group, and the US Air Force Research Laboratories.
