With the increased use of drone technology in private and commercial sectors, the need for counter-drone solutions has also increased to ensure security and avoid any malicious drone activities from dangerous parties. Our new series of comparisons will highlight the counter-drone solutions giants: Skyfend VS Sentrycs. This comparison will highlight the two companies´ advanced technologies and approaches that help detect, track, and respond to any risks.  

Sentrycs´ Technology and Approach

Sentrycs redefines aerial safety with its integrated counter-drone solution. Its all-in-one system combines between seamless integration, detection, tracking, identification, and mitigation.  

- Detection:  

Plug & play 24/7 autonomous monitoring and alerting, even during nighttime & beyond visual line of sight. Detect unlimited number of drones, even when GPS spoofing or jamming are present.

- Tracking:

Monitoring drone height and speed, locating both drone coordinates and remote control last known location. While performing mitigation, Sentrycs keeps tracking other drones.

- Identification:

Providing user-level identification such as drone vendor, drone type, serial number, and more.

- Mitigation:

Three available mitigation options: Once the system has disconnected the drone from its remote control, it can either land it safely in a designated area, or send it back to its home location, or operate "Geofencing".

By design, Sentrycs has been developed to protect 24/7 dense urban areas from unauthorized commercial drones, without interference and/or collateral damage. Unlike other Detection-Tracking-Identification (DTI) and Mitigation technologies, such as radars, RF scanners, directional jammers, or GPS spoofers

Skyfend´s Technology and Approach

SkyFend's portable solution is specifically designed to address high-risk scenarios involving VIP anti-drone security, catering to the need for exceptional maneuverability. This solution aims to provide comprehensive protection for national leaders, international dignitaries, celebrities, and other prominent individuals, ensuring that they are shielded from the disruptions caused by unauthorized drone surveillance or attacks.

Skyfend´s cUAS Solutions:

SkyfendHunter:  

A cost-effective, versatile handheld jammer that can detect, identify, locate, and mitigate drone threats. Hunter delivers exceptional effectiveness against the majority of types and models of UAVs. It possesses the capability to simultaneously disrupt the control link, navigation and video transmission of multiple drones.

SkyfendBlader:  

A portable jammer for SUAVs. Featuring countermeasures for UAV flight control, map transmission, and GNSS bands, it can repel drones or force them to crash to solve the threat of rogue SUAVs.  

SkyfendDefender:  

A compact and cost-effective K-band FMCW radar that provides close-range surveillance for land, sea, and air applications. It's ideal for portable scenarios and high-value target defense, such as government buildings, official residences, and prisons. It utilizes advanced environmental perception and target recognition algorithms to deliver rapid target detection and deployment capabilities.

SkyfendTracer:

A portable UAV detector that effectively receives, analyzes and processes the radio signals of a wide range of UAV models. It can swiftly determine the exact locations of UAVs and pilots by analyzing wireless signal protocol layer information, without causing any interference to wireless communication devices within the protected zone.

SkyfendGuider C2 software:  

A software that offers an intuitive and feature-rich software platform, providing C-UAS awareness and reporting capability. Supported by sensor fusion, computer vision, edge computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence, Guider integrates radars, detectors and jammers, consolidating their data into a display. It is always on alert, ensuring round-the-clock monitoring of drone threats and effectively mitigating human error.

With the increasing drone threat, Skyfend and Sentrycs´ leading cUAS solutions add a security layer to users, ensuring that different entities can use their drones in secure operations. The companies´ combination of high-tech and AI algorithms is designed for minimizing danger and providing high-level protection.
