Brief Description:[]

The Sentinel is essentially a Predator with a tank cannon, this is to cut down on cost, as both vehicles will share exactly the same parts excluding the turret, it also helps simplfy logistics. It's extremely similar to the Stryker Mobile Gun System in practice. The Sentinel was designed to supplement the M2A3 Stratton in areas where the use of tanks would be unfeasible, an example would be a low intensity conflict zone. It's fully capable in full combat as well and carries a ferocious array of deadly anti-tank ammunition.

Classification: AFV - Mobile Gun System

Protection:[]

The make up of the hull is exactly the same as the Predator. As such the Sentinel is armored to resist the majority of 35-57mm rounds, as well as tandem charge warheads. The Sentinel uses the exact same perforated spaced laminant Nanomechanically structured Aluminum/Titanium Steel alloy with Tungsten Carbide and ballistic Nylon reinforcements. It's spaced armor areas are supplemented with lightweight Non-Explosive Reactive Armor which is highly efficient at deforming HEAT shaped charges (albeit useless againts KE penetrators) and possess a multihit capability, the Reactive Armor is reinforced with Silicon Nirtride ceramic discs. In addition the Sentinel uses modular Nanomechanically structured composite/ceramic armor inserts which consist of Zirconia toughened steel encased pulverized Silicon/Boron Carbide, Titanium Diboride and Aluminum Oxide elements arranged in a hexagonal matrix. Titanium alloy reinforced Polyethylene armor inserts, KE dispersive Polystyrene foam, Boron Nano-fibers, Beryllium-Copper-Nickel alloy and Coryndon crystal ceramic composite and various other Nano-metal matrix/crystal composites. The Sentinel uses a V shaped chassis to resist explosives and can be fitted with protective track skirts.

Countermeasures:[]

The Sentinel uses the same countermeasure systems as the Predator, which include the AN/VLQ-12 MCD, EOC systems, the Iron Sentinel active defense system, four strategically placed six barreled smoke grenade launchers with chaff/flare capabilities. Electric Reactive Armor is always present.

Armament:[]

The Sentinel is armed with a 120mm M708A2 high velocity electronic acceleration cannon, the weapon system utilizes an auto-loader allowing it to put out a single round every three seconds. It can fire Armor Piercing Fin Stablilized Discarding Sabot rounds, tandem High Explosive Dual Purpose Anti-Tank rounds and Smart Target Aquisition Fire and Forget rounds. STAFF rounds are fired in the direction of a hostile target, they fly themself over the top of the target and send a shaped charge from above down into the vehicles most vunerable spot. Its main cannon is armed with a coaxial 14.5mm heavy machinegun with Saboted Light Armor Penetrating rounds. The Sentinel comes with a standard M151/B Protector II RWS.
