Sentrycs offers portable Ranger counter-drone system for $99,000 as FEMA opens its next grant round

· Drones

TLDR

  • Sentrycs, an Ondas company, announced a $99,000 fixed-price package for its portable Ranger counter-drone system, including three years of maintenance.12
  • The company says Ranger, formerly Scout, detects, tracks, identifies and mitigates drones using passive radio frequency sensing.12
  • The offer is pitched at state and local agencies as FEMA opens its next $250 million counter-drone grant round.12

Sentrycs, an Ondas Inc. (Nasdaq: ONDS) company, announced on 29 October a $99,000 firm-fixed-price offering for its portable Ranger system, formerly called Scout, including three years of maintenance and configured for detection, tracking, identification and mitigation.1 The release describes Ranger as a handheld Cyber-over-RF product that uses passive radio frequency sensing and protocol manipulation, and says it is listed on the Safer Skies Authorized Systems List under the name Sentrycs Horizon.1 Unmanned Airspace reports the same listing and the same package, and attributes the capability description to the company.2

The release ties the offer to FEMA's 16 October announcement of an additional $250 million for all 50 states, five territories and the District of Columbia, 56 recipients in total.1 Unmanned Airspace gives the same $250 million figure and date.2 The release says Ranger is available through authorised Sentrycs distributors and partners, and that agencies should coordinate with their State Administrative Agency on funding eligibility and procurement requirements.1 Sentrycs chief executive Tal Cohen called the offer "a practical entry point into a broader counter-UAS capability".1 Neither report names a purchaser or gives test results, and Unmanned Airspace's account follows the company's release.12

Why it matters: the offer puts a price and a maintenance term on a portable detection-and-mitigation system for agencies weighing the $250 million FEMA round, but the capability claims come from Sentrycs and no purchaser or test result is named.12
