Platform 06 · GROUND // EDGE AI MULTI-SENSOR
SENTRY TOWER
Smarter surveillance. Rapid response. Mission ready. A rugged, deployable multi-sensor node with edge AI for 360° persistent awareness.
Overview
Edge AI Multi-Sensor Persistent Surveillance Node
Sentry Tower delivers unmatched situational awareness with advanced sensors and Edge AI, empowering defence, security and critical infrastructure teams to detect, decide and act faster. The system combines EO/IR, radar, ACM and environmental sensors with on-node processing, and integrates with UAVs, UGVs, USVs and command systems as a core sensor in the Aethos Overwatch architecture.
Technology
Edge AI
Detect. Classify. Alert. In real time — local processing so operators focus on events that matter.
Multi-sensor fusion
Radar and EO/IR for early threat identification, with automatic cueing into Overwatch.
Networked operations
Real-time data sharing across platforms — Sentry Towers watch, UAVs investigate, Overwatch connects the picture.
Capabilities
- Multi-sensor payload — EO/IR, radar, ACM, environmental
- Edge AI — real-time threat detection and classification
- 360° persistent awareness, day/night, all-weather
- Seamless integration with UAVs, UGVs, USVs and C2
- Rugged, rapid field deployment
- Person, vehicle, vessel and UAV detection and tracking
