Aero-Sentinel G2 Premium

History

The Aero-Sentinel G2 Premium is an Israeli unmanned aircraft developed for short-range tactical reconnaissance and covert surveillance. Aero-Sentinel describes the electrically powered platform as a compact, low-noise system intended to operate in contested environments.

Public information released in 2025 described a 3.5 kg aircraft with an endurance of up to 80 minutes, a payload capacity of up to 1 kg and algorithmic tracking capabilities. The manufacturer also stated that extensive field trials had been conducted in varied operational environments.

In 2026, Aero-Sentinel reported that a G2 completed a week of demonstrations with an unidentified Romanian defense company during a Romanian Land Forces exercise. The aircraft reportedly performed reconnaissance missions lasting up to 75 minutes while operating under heavy electronic jamming.

Development and demonstrations

A September 2025 report identified the aircraft as the G2 Premium and described it as a reconnaissance UAV developed for extended endurance, near-silent operation and algorithmic tracking. Aero-Sentinel stated that field trials had already been conducted by that time, although the available information did not identify the dates or locations of those trials.

During the Romanian demonstration reported in September 2026, the G2 flew reconnaissance missions of up to 75 minutes. Aero-Sentinel said the missions were performed despite heavy electronic jamming. The company did not identify its Romanian partner, the exercise, its location or the dates of the demonstration.

Design

The G2 Premium measures approximately 60 cm across and has a stated weight of 3.5 kg. It is powered by four electric motors and can carry payloads weighing up to 1 kg.

Aero-Sentinel states that the aircraft is designed for low-noise operation, allowing reconnaissance at relatively low altitude while reducing the probability of acoustic detection. The system also incorporates algorithmic tracking intended to support surveillance missions.

The stated maximum speed is 12 m/s. Line-of-sight range is up to 7 km without the company's directional antenna and nearly twice that distance when the directional antenna is used. The manufacturer gives a maximum flight endurance of 80 minutes, while the Romanian exercise demonstrations reportedly included missions lasting up to 75 minutes.

Program status

By September 2025, Aero-Sentinel stated that the G2 Premium had undergone extensive field trials and had attracted interest from defense and security organizations. The available sources do not establish a confirmed production quantity or identify operators of the G2 Premium.

The 2026 Romanian demonstrations showed continued evaluation of the aircraft in a military exercise environment. The available information does not establish that the Romanian Land Forces or the unidentified Romanian partner had purchased or formally adopted the aircraft.
