MQ-28 Ghost Bat as a useful first generation

Is the MQ-28 Ghost Bat likely to live up to its hype?

Probably not to every claim, but it should still be a useful first generation of a new uncrewed capability.

The sales claims around MQ-28 Ghost Bat probably exceed what the aircraft can realistically perform. The system should still be useful even if it does not meet every ambitious description. As the first operational generation of a new capability, it can be judged by the missions it accomplishes and the foundation it creates. Imperfect performance is compatible with a worthwhile program.
