DroneShield has released its Q3 2026 software release, introducing capability enhancements to DroneSentry 2.
Customers on disconnected or highly secure networks can now update independently using removable media, reducing reliance on remote support. Additionally, with the new cloud-optimised GeoTIFF (COG) maps, users can load their own offline mapping into DroneSentry-C2, providing flexibility in remote locations, overseas deployments or environments where commercial mapping is unavailable or unsuitable.
The Q3 release has also expanded interoperability, including:
- SentryCompass support, delivering positioning through dual GNSS receivers with inertial navigation fallback.
- Robin Radar IRIS On-The-Move support, for mobile radar deployments.
- Evica PinPoint Searchlight support, for improved visual target identification in low-light conditions.
- Broader third-party sensor support via DroneSentry-C2’s generic sensor framework.
- Additional language support: Dutch, German, Ukrainian and Japanese.
The Q3 2026 software release is available now through the DroneShield Access Portal for eligible customers with active subscriptions.
