▌ The threat

250 km.
90 minutes.
Ready or not.

Iran's Shahed-136 fleet sea-skims at 200 m AGL across the Strait of Hormuz. Radar warning is 6-8 minutes at terminal range. The salvo profile observed in Ukraine is 30-80 inbound per night.

▌ The gap

Patriot is
$4 million
per shot.

The UAE stack is excellent against ballistic and cruise threats. Against $35K Shaheds, the math doesn't survive contact: 114 : 1 against the defender per round. Iran's strategic theory of victory is that defenders go bankrupt first. That's the gap Sentinel closes.

▌ One round, one Shahed. Six layers, one winner.

▌ Engagement rules · enforced in firmware

Outbound only.
Over water.
Always.

Outbound vector lock

Sentinel will not arm closure unless its velocity vector points away from the defended HVT and any Tier-I+II target within 5 km. Aborts on the rail otherwise.

2-5 km annulus

Inside 2 km the debris cone overlaps the defended building. Beyond 5 km the airframe envelope expires. Kills happen in the 3 km ring over open Gulf or open desert.

Kinetic ram · no HE

1.4 kg airframe at 220 km/h on terminal — 1.7 kJ closure destabilizes Shahed delta. Iranian HE goes off on the water, not on top of the Marina.
