The RQ-170 Sentinel is a stealth unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Programs, also known as Skunk Works, for the United States Air Force. Shrouded in secrecy, the Sentinel is primarily used for high-altitude reconnaissance missions and intelligence gathering. Its existence was first confirmed by the U.S. government in 2009, although it had reportedly been in service for several years prior. The drone earned the nickname “Beast of Kandahar” after being photographed at Kandahar Airfield in 2007, fueling widespread speculation about its purpose and capabilities.
Designed with a flying wing configuration similar to the B-2 Spirit bomber, the RQ-170 features a low-observable (stealth) profile to minimize radar detection, making it ideal for operations in contested airspace. While official specifications remain classified, analysts believe the drone is equipped with advanced sensors, radar-absorbing materials, and possibly electronic surveillance equipment for signals intelligence (SIGINT) and imagery intelligence (IMINT). The aircraft lacks visible armaments, underscoring its focus on covert reconnaissance rather than combat.
The RQ-170 Sentinel represents a significant leap in ISR capabilities, allowing the U.S. military to gather critical intelligence without risking pilot lives. Its secretive nature and advanced design continue to fuel both fascination and speculation among aviation enthusiasts, military analysts, and adversaries alike. The Sentinel remains a silent but potent tool in America’s arsenal of aerial surveillance.
