SENTINEL = Surveillance-Enabled Navigation and Tactical Intelligence for Extended Loiter


<aside> 📋

Executive Summary

SENTINEL 650 is a real-world commercial UAV project for vineyard surveillance, developed using rigorous end-to-end INCOSE Systems Engineering methodology. The project applies formal SE processes (requirements → architecture → design → integration → verification) with complete traceability across 17 baseline documents.

Performance target: 50-60 minutes real-world endurance (theoretical analysis shows 118 minutes under ideal conditions). The project serves dual purpose: delivering operational capability to a paying client while demonstrating professional SE methodology for career portfolio and INCOSE ASEP certification.

Target audience: Technical recruiters, hiring managers, and stakeholders evaluating Systems Engineering, Technical Program Management, or UAS engineering capabilities.
