    Arc-Sentry

    The sensor stays.
    The operator moves.

    A program-configured Group 1 sUAS sensing system for local detection, evidence-driven reporting, and persistent observation behaviors. Platform, payload, link, recharge, and autonomy options are selected and validated for the mission.

    Persistent sensing / distributed behavior

    The mesh holds the watch.
    Each node knows its role.

    Arc-Sentry distributes sensing and persistence across configured autonomous nodes. A local event can trigger on-device classification, cue another vantage point, and send a concise conclusion through the available program network.

    Configuration note / Dwell time, endurance, response time, and sensing performance are configuration- and environment-dependent.

    Configured persistence

    A closed loop.
    Not a loiter-time claim.

    Arc-Sentry treats persistence as a system behavior. Within its approved configuration, a node can hold a view, report a local conclusion, request a new geometry, or enter a supported recovery cycle over the available program-selected PACE bearer.

    01 / CYCLE

    Perch

    Where the aircraft and mission profile support it, move into an approved observation position and reduce power draw.

    02 / CYCLE

    Watch

    Run configured edge-vision models locally, with RF or acoustic payload cues available when integrated.

    03 / CYCLE

    Reposition

    Change vantage point or request a handoff within the program's approved autonomy and safety envelope.

    04 / CYCLE

    Restore

    Return, rotate, or recharge through the recovery behavior supported by the selected platform and power system.

    On-node vision

    Detect locally.
    Report with context.

    Arc-Sentry's vision workflow is built for aerial small objects: tile-aware training and adaptive inference preserve original-image coordinates, while evaluation can break results down by object size and altitude. Compatible edge compute can turn supported observations into classified events and concise evidence; geolocation and multi-INT context depend on the installed sensors and integration.

    Mode 01 / Hold terrain

    Persistent sentry network

    Configured nodes can support perimeter watch, counter-UAS observation, forward reconnaissance, or pattern-of-life collection. Dwell, concealment, coverage, and reporting cadence vary with platform, payload, power, terrain, and link plan.

    Mode 02 / Move with intent

    Cooperative ISR team

    Program-configured swarm services can coordinate collection priorities, vantage changes, or track handoff across compatible nodes. Available behaviors depend on the vehicle integration, communications plan, safety case, and granted authority.
