ULTRA overview

ULTRA is DZYNE's Group 5 long-endurance unmanned aircraft for persistent ISR, multi-INT collection, resilient communications, and other multi-mission operations. Current DZYNE/Ondas Sentinel product material also presents defense, homeland-security, commercial, and maritime use cases, positioning ULTRA as an actively marketed platform rather than only a laboratory demonstrator. Its mission value is sustained collection and connectivity from a relatively economical unmanned aircraft.

DZYNE/Ondas Sentinel currently claims more than 70 hours of ULTRA endurance, a 450-lb payload, and a ceiling above 30,000 ft. These are manufacturer claims for the ULTRA configuration and may vary with mission equipment; speed, range, dimensions, weight, propulsion, and detailed sensor fit are Not publicly disclosed. ULTRA Turbo is a distinct advertised derivative with 60+ hours, enhanced altitude, speed, and headwind penetration, and its figures should not be merged with ULTRA.

The official DZYNE page identifies ULTRA as an Ondas Sentinel product and describes integrated flight operations, training, maintenance, logistics, and global deployment support. Its 2026 publication and update establish current product status, but do not publicly identify a complete military operator list or fleet quantity. ULTRA is therefore recorded as an actively marketed Group 5 platform, with the 70+ hour, 450-lb, and 30,000+ ft values clearly labeled as claims.
