Developed by its technology partner Wavefront Systems, the Sentinel Expeditionary Trailer is a fully self-contained, mobile security unit that provides rapid and effective underwater protection for defence forces operating in remote or infrastructure-limited environments. Designed for quick deployment and maximum mobility, the system offers enhanced situational awareness wherever it is required.
Each trailer houses the Sentinel Intruder Detection Sonar which can detect and classify divers at ranges of up to 1,000 metres and uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) at up to 1,500 metres. The compact trailer-based configuration allows Sentinel to be deployed where fixed infrastructure is unavailable or unsuitable, making it ideal for expeditionary and forward-operating missions.
Ioseba Tena, Managing Director at Forcys, commented: “This new offer makes it even easier to arrive on site, deploy the sonar and secure your perimeter. With ongoing developments it’s no surprise that Sentinel is still the world’s most widely deployed intruder detection system, keeping people and assets safe from underwater threats, anywhere, anytime.”
Forcys are presenting the Expeditionary Trailer alongside other innovations in maritime defence at the Combined Naval Event (CNE) 2025, Farnborough, UK, 20th-22nd May 2025.
