Traditional ground-based counter-UAS systems frequently enough struggle against low-flying threats that utilize urban, mountainous, or wooded landscapes for concealment. Additionally, these systems can be easily overwhelmed by coordinated swarm attacks and electronic warfare tactics.
Sentinel addresses these challenges by deploying multiple UAVs equipped with active radar sensors and optional electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) cameras. This setup ensures clear line-of-sight and dependable detection and classification of Group 1 and 2 UAS, loitering munitions, and ground targets at distances of up to 4 kilometers. This capability allows for early threat detection and interception from a safe distance. The system can be integrated with various kinetic and non-kinetic effectors for comprehensive neutralization strategies.
by deploying multiple Sentinels in a coordinated swarm,users can establish a 360-degree detection perimeter. Each Sentinel monitors its designated area, collectively achieving full coverage. The sentinel system can seamlessly integrate with existing command and control (C2) frameworks for straightforward mission execution. Its robust architecture enables effective operation in environments where GNSS and communication signals are unavailable.
Advanced Radar detection & Smart Processing
Each sentinel UAV is outfitted with active radar, delivering precise real-time tracking and actionable insights. The onboard edge AI processing correlates sensor data across the swarm, facilitating accurate target identification while minimizing bandwidth usage. This allows for reliable differentiation between air and ground targets and background noise, effectively reducing false alarms caused by environmental clutter.
The system can monitor multiple threats concurrently in complex environments, with target limits influenced by spacing, radar cross-section, and kinematic distinguishability within the detection field. Configurable thresholds enhance operational efficiency and prevent overload in high-density threat scenarios.
Sentinel’s AI, processed at the edge on the UAV, dynamically adapts to environmental changes, prioritizing high-confidence targets and reallocating sensor resources to maintain surveillance integrity. It can analyze target trajectories to predict potential threats and determine effective interception points.
