Overview

DroneSentry is DroneShield's autonomous fixed-site counter-UAS platform, fusing radar, RF detectors and electro-optical/infrared cameras into a single system that automatically identifies, tracks and responds to unauthorized drone incursions. It offers a nominal detection range greater than 2 km and an RF disruption range greater than 300 m, using DroneShield's RFAI passive detection engine and RFAI-ATK electronic-countermeasure technology, packaged in the DroneSentry-X Mk2 sensor/effector module. The system can be deployed as a permanent fixed installation or as a temporary pop-up solution, with on-site or remote operator control, for protecting airports, military bases, critical infrastructure and other high-value fixed sites from small and medium drone threats.
