Sentrycs, a pioneering provider of cutting-edge counter-UAS solutions, has been awarded a multi-million-dollar contract in Latin America for a national defence project.

The project marks a significant milestone as the largest installation of counter-drone systems in the region, demonstrating Sentrycs’ unparalleled technological capabilities in addressing the growing threats posed by drones in high-risk environments.

Advanced C-UAS systems

A strong emphasis will be placed on combating narcotics trafficking and criminal activity

The contract’s first phase involves deploying multiple advanced C-UAS systems to enhance airspace security across various critical areas, including military bases, special operations forces, VIP convoys, and national borders. A strong emphasis will be placed on combating narcotics trafficking and criminal activity.

"Recent events in Latin America, including heightened defense challenges and increased unauthorised drone use in criminal activities, underscore the pressing need for advanced airspace security", said Jason Moore, Sentrycs’ Chief Revenue Officer.

Drone security challenges

This milestone contract is a testament to Sentrycs’ ability to deliver unmatched solutions for today’s most pressing drone security challenges. We are proud to play a pivotal role in enhancing national security for this region and look forward to supporting this air defense strategy with our innovative technologies."

Sentrycs’ selection followed rigorous trials and operational tests, where the company outperformed over a dozen competitors. Its ability to operate stealthily—remaining undetectable to third parties during use—was a key deciding factor for this sensitive project.
