About
About Sentry
Sentry combines radar, electro-optical and infrared sensing with edge compute inside a rapidly deployed surveillance tower. The system detects and tracks people, vehicles and other objects across wide areas, then uses Lattice to classify activity and present relevant events to operators.
Solar power and integrated communications allow towers to operate at remote borders, bases and infrastructure sites. Several units can share tracks and cue other sensors or response systems through one command environment. Anduril has produced and deployed hundreds of Sentry systems, moving the platform beyond limited trials into persistent government surveillance networks.
