SENTINEL CUAS-40

A deployable 40 mm hard-kill counter-UAS system combining programmable airburst effect, automatic target detection and stabilized day/night fire control. The trailer-mounted tactical-olive system is developed to protect critical infrastructure, high-value assets, border-security sites and tactical positions against mini and micro unmanned aircraft.

40 mm programmable airburst
Up to 700 m engagement range
64-round ammunition load
Continuous n × 360° traverse
Deployable trailer platform

Deployable hard-kill protection against unmanned threats

The remotely operated system combines programmable 40 mm high-velocity airburst effect with automatic target detection, autonomous tracking, stabilized multispectral observation and computer-based fire control.

01

Automatic target processing

Automatic detection and autonomous tracking support rapid engagement of selected air and ground threats.

02

Stabilized day/night sensing

A TV camera, thermal imager and laser range finder provide precision-stabilized observation and target tracking.

03

Computer-based fire control

The onboard mission computer processes target and environmental data and generates the firing solution.

04

Programmable 40 mm hard kill

A muzzle-programming and launch assembly configures compatible high-velocity airburst ammunition for the calculated intercept point.

Sensor and fire-control chain

A precision-stabilized gimbal combines TV and thermal imaging with laser range finding. The mission computer processes target information, supports automatic tracking and generates the firing solution, while meteorological sensing contributes environmental data for firing accuracy. External radar cueing enables real-time target handover.

Deployment and integration

The integrated system includes the stabilized weapon station, multispectral sensor gimbal, mission computer, power and servo-management module, rechargeable battery, AC/DC conversion, command console and supporting environmental sensor. Final deployment is tailored to the site, radar source, command network and operating concept.

Electrical and communications interfaces, electromagnetic compatibility, safe firing sectors, ammunition handling, airspace coordination and environmental qualification are assessed as part of the integration programme.

European supply and licensed manufacture

Artillerie Inrichtingen Armaments BV supports European and North American customers with programme coordination, system integration, lifecycle support and licensed manufacturing in the Netherlands, subject to the agreed industrial and regulatory framework. Contact our team for site studies, sensor integration, deployment planning and programme information.

Configuration, qualification and regulatory notice

Published values are nominal, tolerances are within ±10% and specifications may change as the product configuration develops. Product availability, configuration, performance and delivery are subject to contract, final engineering, site and system qualification, applicable export-control requirements, airspace and firing permissions, and end-user approvals. Actual engagement performance depends on target characteristics, flight profile, sensor conditions, ammunition configuration and applicable firing restrictions. Images and descriptions are indicative and may show optional equipment.
