With the expanding role of the UAV and SUAV on the battlefield, it’s essential that the defense sector deliver configurable intrusion detection systems effective against land, sea and air threats. To that end ANDRUIL introduced the SENTRY system. Unique to SENTRY is the ability to be configured for all applications and theaters of operations.  Sentry uses artificial intelligence to provide highly accurate, persistent autonomous awareness across land, sea and air. With an AI-enabled edge processing, continuous 360 pan / tilt and a variety of radars and sensors, Sentry can autonomously identify, detect and track objects of interest to bring increased security to borders, military bases, oil and gas pipelines, airports and other critical infrastructure.

The configuration depicted in the picture above is the company’s Long Range Sentry Tower. It uses a total of four continuous wave radar modules operating in the Ka frequency range. This array provides simultaneous 360-degree detection with sufficient resolution to detect and track Group 1 through Group 3 UAVs.

• Group 1
  Size: Small
  Maximum Gross Takeoff Weight (MGTW) (lbs.): 0-20
• Group 2
  Size: Medium
  Maximum Gross Takeoff Weight (MGTW) (lbs.): 21-55
• Group 3
  Size: Large
  Maximum Gross Takeoff Weight (MGTW) (lbs.): <1320

The SENTRY system has a range of 2–4km for Group 1 and Group 2 threats and 15 km for Group 3 and larger threats. It’s powered via solar panels and when fully configured weighs approximately 1500 lbs..
