Launch of SentryCiv

• DroneShield launches SentryCiv, a subscription-based AI enabled counterdrone solution focused on the civilian market
• SentryCiv is an innovative, passive, cost-effective airspace security technology which strengthens defence for high-risk, non-military environments

DroneShield Ltd (ASX:DRO) (DroneShield or the Company) is pleased to announce the launch of SentryCiv, its latest solution designed specifically for the civilian market.

With an advanced, yet cost-effective approach, SentryCiv empowers non-military sectors to safeguard critical assets against rising drone threats. The solution delivers an innovative, non-emitting (completely passive) new layer of security to airports, utilities, data centres, venues and stadiums, government buildings, energy infrastructure, power grids, correctional facilities, corporate campuses, and other high-profile sites susceptible to drone threats. While the dollar amount of expected sales cannot be quantified at this time, it is expected to be material as the demand from the civilian sector rises, and the Company will provide further guidance when available.

Oleg Vornik, DroneShield CEO, commented, “As drone threats continue to proliferate worldwide, critical infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to malicious and unauthorised drone activity. SentryCiv offers a comprehensive, scalable solution that provides real-time detection, and situational awareness. This next-gen technology is engineered to seamlessly integrate into existing security frameworks, enabling a rapid response to potential threats without disrupting operations.”

• Integrated Command & Control – Seamless connection to Sentry-C2 Civ platform provides operators with real-time alerts, threat prioritisation, customisable zones, data logging, and integration with third-party systems.
• Drone Signal Detection and Identification – Proprietary DroneLocator technology enables “dot-on-a-map” tracking of threats and operators, beyond RemoteID.
• Detection Without Disruption – The Encrypted RF Threat Detection-RFAI™ engine identifies a significant number of common drone models without disrupting existing communication systems.

Recognising that many civilian and public safety customers have different budgetary acquisition and performance requirements to the military, Sentry-Civ has no upfront purchase cost, and is a pure-subscription / SaaS-based product.

Quarterly software updates – Quarterly software updates to the AI engine expand the drone detection capability, improve performance, and introduce new features to stay ahead of drone developments. Critical infrastructure and public safety providers face unique challenges in securing vast areas against aerial threats. Traditional defence systems are often too complex or costly for non-military environments. SentryCiv is different. By leveraging DroneShield’s proven counterdrone technology, SentryCiv provides intuitive, on-the-ground detection capabilities, including drone detection and identification all within the SentryC2-Civ, a user-friendly platform tailored for civilian use.

“Airspace security for critical infrastructure and public safety has never been more urgent,” said Tom Adams, Director of Public Safety at DroneShield. “SentryCiv represents our commitment to making advanced counter-drone solutions accessible and affordable for non-military sectors. This solution is a game-changer for industries like corrections, aviation, and utilities, providing cost-effective, reliable means of protecting critical assets from evolving drone threats.”

As part of its broader strategy, DroneShield is committed to continuously enhancing its product offers, ensuring that critical sectors are equipped with the most advanced, yet accessible tools to stay ahead of emerging security threats. SentryCiv is poised to set a new standard in the industry, providing an affordable, reliable solution for sectors that must ensure both public safety and operational continuity.
