Sentinel Robotic Solutions

What Sentinel Robotic Solutions does

Sentinel Robotic Solutions, LLC is a privately held, Woman-Owned Small Business operating under HUBZone certification from Wallops Island, Virginia. Founded in 2012, the company provides unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) services, hardware, and training to utilities, critical infrastructure operators, agricultural operations, and government and public safety agencies across Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. Its offering spans aerial inspection (photo, video, thermal/IR), FAA Part 107 and mission-specific training, agricultural spray-drone solutions delivered through Accurate Ag, and educational programs delivered as a state-wide Pre-ETS provider for Virginia DARS.

The company sells a small portfolio of proprietary platforms including the MAGPIE Class I sUAS (fully U.S.-designed and built with U.S. components, 60+ minute flight endurance with a 1 lb payload), the man-packable Sentinel AERIUM VTOL, the Mobile Sentinel V2.0 traffic/AFAD system, the Sentinel Robotics GCS ground control station, and an unmanned surface vessel for water sampling and mapping. Alongside these, SRS acts as an authorized reseller for DJI Agras agricultural drones, Autel EVO MAX 4T, Silvus StreamCaster tactical radios, and AirData UAV fleet management software, and integrates Volt's AI-driven inspection analytics for asset tagging, defect detection, and GIS mapping.

Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales, professional services (inspection, training, agricultural operations), and recurring service/support contracts. The go-to-market is sales-led, primarily direct to enterprise and government buyers, augmented by channel partnerships (Accurate Ag, Airloom Drone Shows, Volt, AirData UAV). The company is founder-led, employs between 1 and 10 people, and discloses no external funding, making it a small, regionally anchored operator reliant on certifications, operator experience, and channel access rather than scale.
