Sentinel Drones is OPS Alliance's sUAS division, built to give SOF units the drone capabilities and counter-drone readiness the battlefield now demands.
Capabilities
Sentinel Drones provides FPV flight training from basic stick proficiency through advanced tactical employment, ISR operations instruction for intelligence collection and target development, swarm tactics development for multi-aircraft coordinated operations, and counter-UAS training that pressure-tests unit detection, tracking, and defeat procedures against live drone threats.
VR-based training technology accelerates pilot qualification timelines. Hardware partnerships with manufacturers including Lumenier enable direct procurement of platforms to unit specifications.
Counter-drone integration
OPS Alliance integrates live drone swarms into Full Mission Profile training scenarios — forcing units to develop and validate C-UAS tactics, techniques, and procedures under realistic multi-domain conditions. This is not a briefing or tabletop exercise. Units face actual swarming UAS threats while executing their mission.
"Drone swarms pressed counter-drone tactics into a place of discomfort."
1st Ranger BattalionHardware procurement
OPS Alliance procures and delivers sUAS and FPV platforms through established manufacturer partnerships. Hardware is sourced direct to unit specifications — no inventory is held. Procurement is available through GSA MAS contract 47QRAA26D002V or direct purchase order.
Program formats
Sentinel Drones programs are available as standalone instruction — FPV qualification courses, ISR certification, swarm operations — or integrated into OPS Alliance Full Mission Profiles as a threat replication layer. All programs are delivered at client facilities or partnered CONUS ranges by cadre with direct SOF operational experience.
