Iris M400

Iris M400 is the dock-resident member of the Iris family. It cycles between patrol and dock to provide repeatable surveillance around bases, borders and critical infrastructure, with remote monitoring rather than continuous piloting.

Mission role

Perimeter patrol

Iris M400 follows repeatable patrols around a protected site, returns to its dock and relaunches for the next cycle.

Event response

When a perimeter sensor or security system raises an alert, the platform can be tasked to the relevant sector and provide an immediate airborne view to the control room.

Anomaly cueing

Patrol feeds enter Sentinel Fusion, where deviations and points of interest can be queued for operator review and closer inspection.

Shared base picture

At a military site, M400 perimeter awareness can appear in the same Sentinel operational picture as portable Iris platforms and other connected systems.

Configuration

• Platform: dock-resident ISR multirotor.
• Deployment: fixed site with an autonomous patrol-and-dock cycle.
• Users: base security, border operators and critical-infrastructure teams.
• Mission: persistent perimeter surveillance, event response and anomaly cueing.
• System: Sentinel-native autonomy, Fusion and common operational picture.

Use contexts

• Military bases and protected compounds.
• Oil, gas and energy infrastructure.
• Ports and logistics sites.
• Power and utility sites.
• Border and perimeter surveillance.

Key advantages

Repeatable coverage

The dock cycle turns a single sortie into a continuing site-surveillance service.

Less continuous piloting

The operator monitors the mission and responds to events rather than manually flying each patrol path.

Mobile sensor, shared picture

The platform adds an airborne view to Sentinel instead of creating a separate security-drone application.

Civil and defense contexts

The same fixed-site architecture serves critical infrastructure and military perimeter awareness while keeping each deployment inside its authorized operating context.
