The partnership expands DroneShield’s layered counter-drone solution with protocol-level takeover, controlled landing, and forensic capabilities
DroneShield announced on September 10 a further layer to its DroneSentry solutions via integration with Sentrycs, introducing protocol-level cyber takeover, controlled landing, and advanced forensic capabilities.
This expanded capability builds on DroneShield’s long-standing ecosystem of integrated partners, alongside its own radio frequency detection and smart disruption defeat capabilities via its DroneSentry-X solutions. The existing partners include Echodyne, Bosch, and Teledyne FLIRon detection, and Epirus on directed-energy defeat – converging within the DroneSentry-C2 command-and-control platform. Together, these integrations deliver unmatched situational awareness, layered response, and operator choice in one unified solution.
Key developments include:
• A newly added technology layer for detection and defeat capability in the DroneSentry-C2 platform.
• Full-integration of DroneShield and Sentrycs solutions, delivering market-leading fused cyber and RF detection and mitigation functionality of DroneSentry-C2’s SensorFusionAI (SFAI) engine to ingest ‘cyber-RF’ (CoRF) detection data, supporting enhanced real-time analytics and response.
Sentrycs, recognised for pioneering cyber-over-RF drone detection and takeover, brings its modular, military-grade counter-drone solutions, into the collaboration. This integration enables seamless identification and safe neutralisation of unauthorised drones across a wide range of operational environments.
Sentrycs offers real-time drone detection and operator localisation. Fused with DroneShield’s DroneSentry-C2 and powered by its SFAI engine, the combined capabilities integrate radar, RF detections, optical, and thermal sensors for enhanced operational awareness. By cross-referencing data from multiple modalities, operators benefit from improved accuracy, reduced false alarms, and stronger situational awareness. CoRF takeover technology adds another vital layer to safely defeat unauthorised drones, expanding options for response and threat management in any environment, within one integrated solution.
Key features associated with the Sentrycs integration include:
• Autonomous and precise drone detection: Simultaneously detects, tracks, and identifies multiple drones, providing drone model, serial number, detailed telemetry including altitude, location, and operator identity.
• Cyber takeover mitigation: Safely severs connections to remote controllers, reprograms drone home positions, and guides drones to land at designated safe zones for recovery and analysis.
• Comprehensive Situational Awareness: Identification Friend or Foe (IFF), real-time alerts and detailed analytics support operator decisions and aid law enforcement in tracing drone operators through stored flight data.
• Seamless Deployment: Sentrycs’ versatile solutions enable rapid setup in dynamic or challenging environments, making it ideal for security forces, public safety agencies, and critical infrastructure protection.
• Flexible Sensor Integration: Built with open architecture, DroneSentry-C2 accommodates multiple sensor types for customisable, mission-specific defence capabilities.
By combining radar, RF detections, optical, and thermal sensors – alongside CoRF takeover technology, operators gain improved accuracy, reduced false alarms, and expanded defeat options. The solution closes the loop between detection, command-and-control, and neutralisation.
Angus Bean, Chief Product and Technology Officerat DroneShield, stated: “This collaboration provides operators with a stronger, more adaptable solution to the complex challenges of modern airspace security, giving them greater control and a wider range of effective response options. DroneShield has a number of deployed multi-sensor DroneSentry solutions deployed around the world today, with substantial demand for a significantly higher amount in near term. Adding Sentrycs further strengthens the defensive posture available to our customers.”
Tal Cohen, Chief Technology Officer at Sentrycs added, “We’re proud to bring our Cyber over RF technology into this strategic collaboration with DroneShield. This integration combines precise protocol-level drone detection and takeover with powerful situational awareness tools, empowering operators to safely neutralise threats with zero collateral damage. This joint solution meets customer requirements, and sets a new standard for effectiveness, simplicity, and operational flexibility in the counter-UAS space.”
Together, DroneShield and Sentrycs deliver a next-generation CUAS solutions for governments, public safety agencies, and infrastructure operators-closing the operational loop with cutting-edge cyber takeover methods that neutralise threats safely while supporting deep forensic investigation.
