DroneShield has announced the launch of SentryCiv, its latest counter-drone system specifically designed to protect critical infrastructure. This innovative solution aims to empower non-military sectors by providing a cost-effective means to safeguard vital assets against the increasing threat of drones. SentryCiv is poised to enhance security at airports, utilities, data centers, venues, government buildings, and other high-risk sites.

As drone threats proliferate globally, critical infrastructure becomes more vulnerable to unauthorized drone activity. SentryCiv offers a comprehensive, scalable solution that provides real-time detection and situational awareness. This next-generation technology integrates seamlessly into existing security frameworks, enabling rapid response to potential threats without disrupting operations.

Key Features of SentryCiv

SentryCiv is equipped with several advanced features that distinguish it from traditional defense systems, which are often too complex or costly for civilian environments. The solution includes:

  • Integrated Command & Control: The Sentry-C2 Civ platform provides operators with real-time alerts, threat prioritization, customizable zones, data logging, and integration with third-party systems.
  • Drone Signal Detection and Identification: Proprietary DroneLocator technology enables precise tracking of threats and operators, extending beyond RemoteID capabilities.
  • Detection Without Disruption: The encrypted RF Threat Detection-RFAI engine identifies over 150 common drone models without interfering with existing communication systems.

Quarterly software updates will expand the drone detection library, improve performance, and introduce new features to stay ahead of emerging unmanned systems (UxS) developments.

Addressing Unique Security Challenges

Critical infrastructure providers face unique challenges in securing vast areas against aerial threats. SentryCiv leverages DroneShield’s proven counter-unmanned aircraft systems (CUAS) technology to provide intuitive, on-the-ground detection capabilities. This user-friendly platform is tailored for civilian use, ensuring that sectors like law enforcement, corrections, aviation, and utilities have reliable means of protecting critical assets.

“Airspace security for critical infrastructure and public safety has never been more urgent,” said Tom Adams, Director of Public Safety at DroneShield. “SentryCiv represents our commitment to making advanced counter-drone solutions accessible and affordable for non-military sectors. This solution is a game-changer for industries like law enforcement, corrections, aviation, and utilities, providing cost-effective, reliable means of protecting critical assets from evolving drone threats.”

Implications and Future Outlook

The introduction of SentryCiv marks a significant shift in how non-military sectors approach drone threats. By providing an affordable and reliable solution, DroneShield is setting a new standard in the industry. The company is committed to continuously enhancing its product offerings, ensuring that critical sectors are equipped with the most advanced tools to stay ahead of emerging security threats.

SentryCiv is expected to play a crucial role in maintaining public safety and operational continuity. As drone technology evolves, the need for effective counter-drone systems will only increase, making solutions like SentryCiv indispensable for protecting critical infrastructure.
