Every UASFeed story on Boeing — across defense, counter-UAS, industry, commercial, policy, and tech, newest first.
Northrop's company-funded YFQ-48A Talon Blue flew itself from taxi to landing at Mojave on Oct. 3, about 15 months after concept, and it now goes after an Air Force CCA Increment 2 competition whose requirements are still undefined.
Read the story →The Pentagon has picked four lasers and a microwave weapon for a year-long JIATF-401 pilot on U.S. bases, where service members will run them. The goal is to learn what directed energy really costs to operate before a December shoot-off at Dugway.
The Army has narrowed its IFPC Increment 2 interceptor competition to Lockheed Martin and a Boeing-Anduril team, dropping Rafael's US arm as the program moves toward a competitive demonstration to fill the air-defense gap below Patriot and THAAD.
New flight-test images from Malan Air Base confirm China is flying a 52-meter tailless flying-wing UAV dubbed WZ-X, a design analysts say points toward an unmanned stealth ISR/bomber platform on the scale of the CH-7.
Archer Aviation signed an all-stock deal to acquire Boeing's Insitu, Wisk Aero and SkyGrid units, handing Boeing a roughly 19.75% stake as the eVTOL maker absorbs decades of military UAS and autonomy technology.
In a Boeing/Northrop Grumman demo, a P-8A Poseidon crew tasked an MQ-4C Triton via machine-readable UCI messages — the drone planned its own transit, worked its sensors, processed data with AI and reported back over satellite relay, no ground control station required.
BAE Systems unveiled Brontanax at Farnborough on July 22, 2026 — the UK's first uncrewed autonomous Collaborative Combat Aircraft, self-funded to a finished prototype before the government committed £300 million and a 2027 first flight.
A United 737 with 111 aboard reported a drone about 100 feet below it on final to Newark on June 27; a second crew saw another. The FAA opened a probe — but civil airports still have no authority to detect or down drones.
From a commercial fish-finder drone to front-line ISR in Ukraine, the Insitu ScanEagle and RQ-21A Blackjack are defined by a single design constraint: no runway needed. Here is how the platforms work, where they’ve fought, and why the formula endures.
The MQ-25A Stingray is the U.S. Navy's first operational carrier-based unmanned aircraft — a purpose-built aerial tanker that doubles the combat radius of F/A-18s and F-35Cs while freeing multiple fighters per air wing from buddy-tanker duty.
Uncrewed undersea vehicles now patrol the same cables that carry 97% of global communications. From man-portable REMUS scouts to 85-ton Orca XLUUVs, this is how the U.S. Navy classifies, builds, and struggles to field them — and why China is moving faster.
