The Triad Industries Sentinel is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of both remote controlled and autonomous operations developed for service with the Belfrasian Air Force and is the second unmanned vehicle in the Belfrasian military's drone family, being developed from the TI Aeseptus, a lighter and less-capable vehicle and now has been developed into the TI Guardian, a vastly more capable stealth-capable vehicle, although the armed forces has stated they will continue to grow their Aeseptus and Sentinel fleets for varying purposes.
Developing on the successes of it's predecessor, the Sentinel is larger and more capable, being designed for long endurance operations at high altitudes for both surveillance and combat purposes.
