RUSSIA, CHINA, and IRAN are building kamikaze drones to hunt American soldiers in the next war. I'm building SENTRY to stop them, so no American is killed by an attack drone.
You've seen the videos from Ukraine: a soldier alone in a field, a drone closing in behind him, nowhere to run. That's what war looks like now. A drone that costs a few hundred dollars can kill a soldier we spent years training, and they come in waves.
This isn't about taking sides in someone else's war. It's about making sure every American who puts on the uniform comes home. And it's getting closer to home: cartels already fly drones across our southern border. It's only a matter of time before those drones are armed.
Here's what most people don't realize: almost every counter drone system out there protects a place, not a person. Bases, ships, convoys. Radar, jammers, guns, missiles. The soldier on foot gets a handheld jammer that can't stop a fiber optic drone, a shotgun, and luck. And shooting million dollar missiles at few hundred dollar drones is a losing trade for the taxpayer.
SENTRY is air defense for one soldier. Here's how it's designed to work:
A sensor pack on the soldier's back is always listening and looking for incoming drones. When one is spotted, an interceptor drone launches from a cartridge on the pack, rushes the attacker, and wraps it in a net, taking it down away from the soldier. It doesn't rely on jamming, so it's designed to stop the drones jammers can't touch. Then the soldier slots in a fresh interceptor, ready for the next one. The version in this video is the biggest SENTRY will ever be.
It's designed to fit how soldiers already fight, with almost no extra training, and to be affordable enough for every soldier, not just every base. Every squad on patrol should carry a few. Every soldier walking alone should have SENTRY watching their six.
Peace through strength starts with protecting the people we send to fight. The next war will be decided by who can put the most drones in the air, and who can keep their soldiers alive underneath them.
I never want to see a video of an American soldier being hunted down by a kamikaze drone. That's why I'm building SENTRY.

Post-Homeric poetry is marked by an abandonment of the mythical tradition that informed the Homeric Epics, and its replacement by abstract and intellectual (often personalistic) strands of thought. In contrast to the Epics, standard-setting, praise and treatment of abstract concepts referred to contemporary contexts
