Sentry Remotely Operated Weapon System
Force Multiplication for Critical Security Sites
As training and personnel costs rise, high-value facilities need a force-multiplier solution. The Sentry ROWS enables security teams to engage armed threats remotely from a safe, hardened control center.
Its armored turret protects the weapon, optics, and electronics from bullets and blasts—even when under sustained attack. Prior to deployment, the weapon and sensors remain stowed and concealed. Once authorization is confirmed through robust hardware + software interlocks, the system deploys in seconds.
With Sentry, you gain:
- Enhanced perimeter coverage
- Faster response times
- Greater operational efficiency
Tactically Flexible
Within Sentry’s armored enclosure resides the proven T360 ROWS platform, compatible with standard weapons like the M240 7.62 mm or M249 5.56 mm.
T360 Key Strengths:
- Modular weapon pods allow rapid swap-outs for maintenance or changes in mission.
- Lightweight enough for remote training and deployment.
Safety and Control
Remotely Operated Weapon Systems, while common in military use, don’t always meet non-military safety standards. Sentry addresses this with a custom C2 (Command & Control) architecture, layered with safeguards to prevent unauthorized firing, intrusion, or communication loss.
- Approved by a DoD safety board via Sandia National Laboratories for non-military use.
- Multiple software & hardware interlocks guard against misuse or hacking.


Why Sentry is the Choice for High-Risk Sites
- Ideal for critical infrastructure, high-value industrial sites, border installations, and other high-threat locations where traditional patrols may be insufficient.
- Enhances safety by enabling engagement of threats from a remote, protected position.
- Reduces manpower burden while expanding coverage and reach.
- Designed and manufactured in the USA—under rigorous defense standards and export-controlled (ITAR) regulations.
