Aero Sentry™ is an easy to use, rapidly deployable, affordable, and highly flexible wireless security system that provides unparalleled security for aircraft and aviation infrastructure.
Aero Sentry™ consists of four compact radio-frequency transceivers that can be seamlessly integrated with any traffic or safety cone to form a Radio Frequency tripwire. The system provides intrusion detection on any terrain, non-line of sight locations, foliage, and other obstructions. Applications and features include:
-
Protection of fixed-wing or rotary wing aircraft
-
Secure the perimeter of fuel depots and tankers
-
Other high value asset protection
-
Easily integrated with traffic cones and other barriers
-
Provides archived logs and time-stamped images
-
Protects assets from tampering, boarding, and theft

An Aero Sentry™ system requires no infrastructure and can be deployed in minutes. The integrated fish-eye camera provides automated visual verification of any perimeter intrusion events.

Asset Protection
Mobile high value assets such as airplanes, helicopters, and boats, are often temporarily parked or housed in hangars, on tarmacs, or docks for extended periods. During this time, these unattended assets may be targets of sabotage or theft. Aero Sentry™ can operate indoors or outdoors in structures such as hangars or buildings, and can be easily concealed inside of cones, barriers, or other structures.

Intruder Detection
Controlled environments such as buildings, hangars, and facilities, are costly and difficult to secure because they require the use of multiple personnel to patrol the perimeter or to monitor installed cameras and other sensors. Aero Sentry™ is a force multiplier that can be easily integrated with other security and surveillance modalities to help reduce manning requirements.

Incident Prevention
Using the built-in 360 degree fish-eye camera, Aero Sentry™ can snap photos of incidents as they happen. Users will be able to prevent the incident if they respond quickly enough.
Benefits
Aero Sentry™ is an easy-to-use, portable aircraft and asset security system. This wireless “trip wire” consists of handheld units that can be set up around the aircraft to form an invisible fence. When an intruder crosses the fence line, an integrated camera provides visual confirmation of the intrusion, and the alert and image are captured and relayed to a mobile device via MMS/SMS messaging. Aero Sentry™ nodes can seamlessly integrate with any commercial barrier cone to provide discrete asset monitoring and protection. The Aero Sentry™ asset monitoring system is:

Rapidly Deployable
Aero Sentry™ nodes can be set up and deployed in minutes. The system will send you a confirmation text message and will continue to monitor the aircraft until the system is deactivated.

Portable
Aero Sentry™ was designed with the pilot in mind. The system is small enough to fit into nearly any compartment of the aircraft and durable enough to withstand turbulence, landing, and departure.

Visual Verification
The 360-degree fisheye camera identifies intruders and accidental events, and communicates with any mobile device, providing alerts of perimeter intrusions events around the aircraft.
