DroneShield, a leading developer of counter-uncrewed systems (CUxS) technology, has unveiled SentryCiv. It is a new passive and cost-effective airspace security solution. It is aimed at safeguarding critical infrastructure from unauthorized drone activity.
Designed specifically for non-military sectors, SentryCiv offers an additional, non-emitting layer of protection. It will protect airports, data centers, stadiums, government facilities, and other high-risk sites. The system provides real-time detection and situational awareness. It helps operators respond quickly to potential aerial threats without disrupting day-to-day operations.
Addressing a Growing Security Challenge
As drones become more accessible, incidents involving unauthorized flights over sensitive sites are on the rise. Traditional military-grade defense systems can be too complex or expensive for civilian use. Thus, it leaves a critical gap in protection.

“SentryCiv represents our commitment to making counter-drone solutions accessible. Especially, for non-military sectors,” said Tom Adams. Tom is the Director of Public Safety at DroneShield. “This solution is a game-changer for industries like law enforcement and aviation. Therefore, it provides a cost-effective way of protecting critical assets from drone threats.”
Key Features of SentryCiv
The SentryCiv system is built on DroneShield’s proven CUxS platform. It offers several advanced capabilities. The Sentry-C2 Civ platform delivers real-time alerts and customizable geofencing. It includes threat prioritization, data logging, and integration with third-party security systems. Using proprietary DroneLocator technology, SentryCiv can track drone locations and their operators. The RFAI™ encrypted RF threat detection engine identifies over 150 common drone models. Quarterly software upgrades expand the detection library. Upgrades enhance system performance to keep pace with emerging drone technologies.
Scalable and Civilian-Friendly
Engineered for simplicity, SentryCiv is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing security frameworks. Its scalability allows organizations to protect anything from a single facility to a wide network of sites. It will offer a tailored solution for each operational environment.
DroneShield aims to provide non-military sectors with the same level of protection previously available only to defense organizations.
With SentryCiv, DroneShield is positioning itself as a key player in safeguarding public safety amid evolving drone threats.
