Sentinel
Tethered Drone
SENTINEL from Drone Evolution is a unique tethered drone designed to support a range of applications such as increased ISR, EW and Communications Rebroadcast for extended periods of flight.
SENTINEL’s quadcopter design allows for ease of mobility and portability but with its powerful motors it is capable of lifting payloads of up to 5kg.
Unmatched Tethered UAV Technology
The Sentinel is designed to provide outstanding performance of security, performance, and unlimited flight time for a wide range of situations. through tethering, the limitations of traditional battery-powered flights are eliminated.
With conventional drones, flight time is restricted, often leaving critical areas unmonitored. However, our tethering technology ensures uninterrupted and continuous operation, enabling extended flights that go beyond the capabilities of standard UAVs.
Imagine a drone that never lands due to battery depletion. The Sentinel's unique tethering system eliminates the need for frequent landings. It is ideal for long-duration surveillance and monitoring tasks.
With the Sentinel, your aerial vehicle remains in the sky, providing an uninterrupted stream of data and insights that were previously unattainable.
Versatile & Weatherproof
The system is flexible so it can carry payloads of different kinds including radios (including MANET systems), cameras and thermal imaging systems.
The weatherproofing and high wind resistance allows for long endurance in challenging environments.
SENTINEL is designed and built entirely in the United Kingdom.
Enhanced Security and Efficiency
Security is paramount in today's world. Our tethered drone system enhances security measures by providing a constant connection between the UAV and the ground station.
This connectivity ensures real-time data transmission, enabling quick decision-making and proactive responses to potential threats. Whether it's monitoring large crowds, safeguarding critical buildings, or enhancing public safety, our system is the ideal solution.
How it works
With our patented Freedom Power Supply, SENTINEL is the only system capable of running directly from a 12v or 24v power supply such as a vehicle or batteries (with no inverter or generator required) as well as mains power.
Aerial power supply is built into Sentinel, which enables the use of Ground Power Supply and Freedom Power Supply.
Power Supplies
Ground Power Supply
Our ground power supplies can work directly from the mains or generators to keep the drone in the air supplying the power requirements for as long as you need it.
Freedom Power Supply
Our Freedom power supplies can output 100V – 500V from a 12V or 24V vehicle power supply. This can allow tethered drones to be mobilised and remain airborne for extended periods. The freedom power supply can also be used for a range of applications.
Lithium Battery
Sentinel can be powered from portable power sources such as lithium power banks and batteries or leisure batteries
Hand Reel & Tether
Our hand reel systems are cost effective and easy to use, supplying reliable power through high quality lightweight tether.
Weatherproof and capable of handling data at 10mb per second, our Kevlar coated tether operates with a breaking strain of over 65kg to make it the most reliable on the market.
Tethered Drone Applications
Tethered drones are able to provide a persistent surveillance capability for situational awareness making them ideal for applications such as:

FAQ's
Tethering offers numerous benefits, including unlimited flight time, real-time data transmission, enhanced security, and the ability to operate in areas without access to traditional power sources.
The Sentinel tethered drone system has a wide availability of options, including aerial surveillance, disaster response, event monitoring, border security, infrastructure inspection, and more.
The Sentinel's tethering technology involves a secure connection between the drone and the ground station.
Power, data, and communication signals travel through the tether, enabling continuous flight and real-time data transmission.
Yes, the Sentinel's tethering system allows it to operate in remote or challenging circumstances where traditional power sources might be inadequate or inaccessible.
Absolutely. The Sentinel system is designed with safety as a top priority.
The tether ensures a constant link between the drone and the ground station, minimizing the risk of the UAV flying out of control or being lost.
The Benefits of Sentinel
Typically, drone batteries only last 20 minutes or so. This can limit their effectiveness for commercial use.
By powering the drone via a tether, attached to a ground station, the drone can stay in the air for extended periods of time. This also limits some risks associated with drones, such as flyaway.
