The Sentinel Counter-UAS System is an air-to-air sensor & interceptor network designed to detect, classify, and intercept unmanned aerial systems (UAS), including small drones, micro-UAVs, and loitering munitions. It provides early warning against hostile UAS and enables their interception at a stand-off distance. Equipped with onboard AI software and high-performance edge computing, Sentinel is designed for operation in contested environments. Its high level of automation and superior data fusion allows for a defensive swarm of airborne sensors and interceptors to be managed by a single operator.
Sentinel can detect low-flying drones that exploit terrain to mask their presence from ground-based C-UAS sensors. Having eyes in the sky means Sentinel’s line of sight is not obstructed by geographic or man-made obstacles, enabling early warning and interception. Our airborne sensors can be dynamically positioned to optimize sensor coverage from above. All this can be done on the move, enabling effective C-UAS protection for static and mobile assets.
