DroneSentry (fixed site)
An autonomous multi-sensor fixed-site C-UAS platform that fuses radar, RF, and optical detection with integrated RF countermeasures into a single managed installation.
DroneSentry is DroneShield's flagship permanent-installation counter-UAS system, built for facility operators and defence customers who need continuous, unattended airspace protection rather than a capability that is switched on during specific threat windows. The architecture is modular: a SmartHub edge-compute processor fuses data from RfOne RF detectors, an integrated radar (base configuration uses a smaller radar; optional long-range radar modules are available), and optional DroneOpt day/thermal PTZ cameras, feeding all sensor tracks into the DroneSentry-C2 command-and-control platform. The result is a correlated, multi-sensor air picture rather than the single-domain view you get from a standalone RF detector or a radar acting alone — an important distinction because consumer drones can be flown in ways that degrade any single sensor class (e.g. no RF link if flying autonomously on pre-programmed GPS waypoints, or low radar cross-section at ground clutter level). DroneOptID, the AI-driven computer vision module, provides optical classification and tracking for visual confirmation and evidence collection. The defeat layer uses DroneCannon, a non-kinetic RF jamming effector integrated into the installation, which the C2 can trigger autonomously or under operator command depending on the configured rules of engagement. Multiple DroneSentry units on a single site enable RF triangulation to produce precise drone-and-operator geo-coordinates rather than only bearing data — relevant for large sites like airports, seaports, or industrial complexes where a single sensor's bearing line is insufficient to localise a threat. The system is designed for permanent or long-term temporary installations and is weather-hardened for continuous outdoor operation. For GCC airport operators and critical-infrastructure protection teams, DroneSentry represents the anchor node around which a broader C-UAS architecture is built, with DroneSentry-X Mk2 units covering extended or mobile perimeters and handheld DroneGun effectors providing a tactical response layer.
