AEROSTAR^® NG

Effectively operating in the modern battlefield for over two decades, the Aerostar takes “combat proven” to new heights, offering supreme operational flexibility based on a reliable multi-mission design and extensive modification capabilities.

This tactical MALE UAS has been tried and tested as a cost-effective multi-mission solution across 250,000 flight hours in diverse scenarios worldwide. It requires a small logistic footprint, easily integrating into limited airfields and enabling rapid turnaround as well as simple maintenance. The Aerostar® is equipped with a large payload bay supporting multiple payloads, an ATOL system, and highly accurate GPS/INS navigation and targeting, including in GPS-denied zones.

Thanks to its design and manufacture being performed completely in-house, the Aerostar® can also be modified and adapted to serve a range of needs for different clients, reflecting the user-centric Aeronautics philosophy.
