摘要

Boeing recently unveiled its latest unmanned platform, designed for global defence customers by Boeing Australia. Representing the company's largest investment in a new unmanned-aircraft programme outside of the USA, the Boeing Airpower Teaming System will complement and extend airborne missions through 'smart teaming' with existing military aircraft; the first flight is planned for 2020. A model was unveiled at the Australian International Airshow by Christopher Pyne, Australia's Minister for Defence. The Australian government and Boeing will produce a concept demonstrator called the Loyal Wingman - Advanced Development Program.
