DroneSentry-C2

Command and Control Platform - On-Prem or Cloud Based

On-Premises Item Number: 407 | Cloud Item Number: 408

DroneSentry-C2 Command-and-Control (C2) provides an intuitive and feature-rich software platform, providing counter-UAS awareness and reporting capability. It integrates both DroneShield and third-party C-UxS sensors and effectors. Those include multiple AI-enabled sensing and tracking products, such as:

  • RfOne: long-range direction-finding sensors for UAS detection and tracking

  • DroneOptID: camera-agnostic optical/thermal camera AI software

  • SensorFusionAI: sensor-agnostic, 3D data fusion engine

The GUI harnesses the advantages of each detection technology, providing the user with an early warning system and growing detection threat level as more data is gathered and processed.

DroneSentry-C2 allows for remote access to DroneShield products to check statuses, configure system settings, monitor threat levels and respond in real-time. DroneSentry-C2 is available in both cloud hosted and on-premises deployment options. Customers requiring maximum flexibility will benefit from secure cloud hosting, allowing multiple operators to manage sites remotely. Customers requiring an air-gapped solution benefit from the supplied on-premises 2RU server unit.

DroneSentry-C2 enables real time airspace awareness with a low cognitive burden to the system operator. It also acts as a Digital Twin, enabling virtual representation of the system’s physical sensor and effector assets, digitally overlaid to the required facilities, and providing simulation and training environment. It provides elements and dynamics of the system through its lifecycle to the end user.

DroneSentry-C2 has an optional Nearmap mapping upgrade for best-in-class mapping data. The upgrade supplements the existing mapping service provided with each DroneSentry-C2 license. Nearmap provides users with high resolution aerial imagery in Australia, New Zealand and North America. Nearmap’s resolution is several times higher than standard satellite imagery, providing increased precision when responding to C-UAS threats. Nearmap mapping data is regularly updated, ensuring sites reflect the latest geospatial data for operators.

System Components


System Components

Manage the Site from Anywhere

Secure cloud-based processing allows operators to access their sites from anywhere, anytime. Onsite or ‘air-gapped’ hardware solutions are also available.

Live Monitoring Dashboard

Live Dashboard allows operators to observe and understand the drone activity around their site immediately. Vast amounts of environmental data is processed and distributed to the operator only when required, in a form that is easy to understand, enabling the operator to make critical and swift decisions.

Detailed Evidence Collection

Statistics and logs of detections displayed in an easy to read summaries and can be exported for external use. Vendor, location, duration and MAC address of detections are displayed giving the users clear insight into activity within their airspace.

Engage Defeat Capabilities

Control and manage threats.

Digital Twin Planning Tool

Embedded planning tool allows for rapid planning of new site deployments to assess performance capabilities and ensure operational success in a visual real-world mirrored simulation. Existing sites can be saved and replicated into the platform to capture system deployment scenarios over its lifecycle.

MIL-STD-2525 Compliant Mode

Available in a MIL-STD-2525 version with industry leading enterprise features and MIL-STD-2525 compliance. As a sensor agnostic, open architecture platform, DroneSentry-C2 brings advanced interoperability and flexibility to users.


Advantages

  • Scalable & Flexible

    Platform is built to scale horizontally and vertically, on-premise (air-gapped) or on cloud options are available. Can be used for single multi-sensor sites or several multi-sensor nodes working together

  • Immediate Evidence Collection

    Displays live UAS (e.g. drone) activity, providing alerts to the user about the environment, inbuilt tools for detailed, precise report generation

  • Convenient

    Can be accessed and configured remotely from a web browser, wherever there is Internet connectivity or as standalone desktop application. Air-gapped solutions also available. Alerts are configured through the GUI to send via SMS or Email for remote operators
