# Arc-Sentry

> A distributed small-UAS sensor concept that can support perch, observe, reposition, recharge, and concise detection sharing when the selected platform, payload, power, and program network provide those functions.

Product descriptor: Autonomous Perch-and-Stare Sensor Mesh

Marketing headline: The sensor stays. The operator moves.

## Mission fit

- Persistent perimeter and area awareness
- Forward reconnaissance
- Counter-UAS sensing
- Cooperative multi-sensor ISR

## Capabilities

- EO/IR, RF, and passive acoustic sensing by payload configuration
- Perch, watch, reposition, and recharge behaviors when supported by the platform
- On-node inference intended to report conclusions instead of continuous raw video
- Program-configured mesh cooperation with ATAK and Cursor-on-Target outputs

## Software

- Event-driven local perception
- Program-configured autonomous persistence behaviors
- Distributed collection and track handoff when enabled
- Operator tasking and common-operating-picture integration

## Integrations

- EO/IR sensors
- RF sensors
- Passive acoustic sensors
- ATAK
- Cursor-on-Target

## Qualifications

- Endurance, dormant dwell, response time, and sensor performance depend on the selected aircraft, payload, power system, environment, and model.
- Perching, repositioning, recharge, mesh cooperation, and mission-system outputs require the corresponding platform hardware and program integration.
- The public page describes a Group 1 sUAS-class concept; final platform classification is configuration-dependent.
