Onyx Industries' SENTRY remote weapon station, which one person can carry, now keeps the same core design whether it is mounted on a tripod, a vehicle, a ground robot or a boat, chief executive Chris Klaftenegger said on social media on Thursday.
SENTRY pairs Onyx's X360 pan-and-tilt mount with a rifle fired by remote control and an AI imaging system. The software looks for people, vehicles and drones and points them out to the operator, who the company says always decides whether to fire. SENTRY works with the ATAK app used by US and allied troops and can be controlled over a mesh radio network from another position.
Onyx, a veteran-owned company in Virginia, first showed SENTRY in early 2024. According to the company, US Marine Corps special operators tested Ghost Robotics' four-legged robots fitted with SENTRY-based guns that year.
