Sentinel

A solar-augmented persistent VTOL concept for extended observation, ISR, perimeter and infrastructure missions.

Concept definition · engineering validation required
SOFOS DRONES product architecture

D2 Sentinel combines persistent sensing with mission-aware energy management.

Mission role

Endurance managed against mission success.

01

Solar augmentation

Integrated energy capture supports extended operating profiles where the validated airframe and environment permit.

02

Energy intelligence

Power demand, payload use, weather, reserve and mission phase are treated as one decision context.

03

Persistent awareness

Progressive memory and Peripheral Intelligence Vision preserve focus while monitoring adjacent change.

Any endurance outcome depends on validated aircraft mass, solar yield, storage, payload, weather, flight profile and regulatory constraints.
Operating pathway

Persistent—not unbounded.
