The original G100 was produced for Gulfstream Aerospace by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) in the mid-1980s. Gulfstream began producing the G100 when it took over the G100 program in the 1990s and introduced the G150 variant. The G150 was an upscaled version of the G100, with a longer and wider cabin, an improved nose structure, and more powerful engines.
