DRONE INSPECTION + AI ANALYSIS · CALIFORNIA

See every risk.
Fix what matters first.

Sentinel turns drone imagery of your poles, bridges, culverts, and wildfire-prone land into ranked, ready-to-act repair and risk reports — for public agencies, utilities, land managers, and defense installations.

ALL-HAZARDS AERIAL INTELLIGENCE

One aerial team for every kind of disaster.

Fire is only one threat. Sentinel provides aerial AI inspection before, during, and after disasters of all kinds, so your team knows exactly where the damage is, what is at risk, and what to fix first.

Our drones reach flooded streets, unstable slopes, and burned ridgelines that crews can't safely enter. AI maps the affected area and flags damaged roads, structures, and utilities, and our analysts verify every finding before it reaches you.

WHO WE SERVE

Built for the teams responsible for keeping California safe and running.

Public agencies

Cities, counties, water districts, and transportation departments inspecting bridges, culverts, roads, and facilities.

Utilities

Pole, tower, and right-of-way inspection that supports wildfire mitigation and reliability programs.

Land managers & nonprofits

Fire-safe councils, land trusts, and conservation groups mapping vegetation and fuel loads for prevention projects.

Defense installations

Base infrastructure inspection, range wildfire mapping, imagery analysis, and drone program support.

SERVICES

Answers, not just aerial photos.

Every engagement ends with a prioritized report your crews can act on and data that drops into your existing asset and work-order systems.

01

Infrastructure inspection

High-resolution and thermal capture of poles, towers, bridges, culverts, rooftops, and facilities — without rope access or bucket trucks.

02

Wildfire & vegetation risk

Vegetation encroachment, fuel-load, and defensible-space mapping, scored and ranked by parcel or asset.

03

AI imagery analysis

Defect flagging and risk ranking on your imagery or ours, with every finding reviewed by a person before it reaches your crews.

04

Post-event assessment

Documented site conditions after floods, fires, or earthquakes to speed repair planning and recovery funding claims.

05

Drone program support & training

Setup, operator training, and maintenance support for agencies and units standing up their own drone programs.

06

Risk monitoring subscription

Repeat surveys and a running risk history, so you can show what changed, what was fixed, and what is next.

THE EQUIPMENT BEHIND THE INTELLIGENCE

Camera-equipped.
Mission-focused.

HOW IT WORKS

Capture. Analyze. Act.

1 · Capture

We plan the flight around your assets, airspace, and access, then fly with U.S.-made aircraft and certified pilots.

2 · Analyze

AI flags defects and risk across thousands of images; our analysts verify each finding and rank it by urgency.

3 · Act

You receive a prioritized repair list, mapped findings, and exports ready for your work-order and grant reporting.

WHY SENTINEL

Trusted equipment. Accountable findings. Grant-ready paperwork.

U.S.-made, Blue UAS–listed aircraft

Equipment that meets federal and defense security requirements, so grant-funded and military buyers can use us.

FAA Part 107 certified pilots

Every flight is planned, authorized, logged, and insured.

Human-verified AI

Software speeds review; people sign off on every finding before it reaches you.

Minority-owned, finance-led

Led by a grants and finance professional who builds budgets and reports the way funders expect.

FOR PUBLIC AGENCIES

Applying for Grant Funding and Need a Service Partner? Look No Further...

Federal drone infrastructure inspection grants let agencies contract for services when in-house expertise is limited. We provide a letter of commitment, a detailed budget quote, and a scope written to the program's priorities — and we handle the reporting data once you are funded.

Example scope: 1.8-mile corridor, 27 assets reviewed, 3 findings flagged for follow-up. All locations, findings, and priorities below are invented to demonstrate the report format, not actual inspection results or safety advice.

Illustrative prioritized findings and recommended follow-up
Asset / reference	Finding	Priority	Recommended follow-up
Pole OR-014 Image 042	Vegetation near utility equipment	HIGH	Request utility review and a clearance assessment.
Culvert OR-008 Image 087	Debris visible at inlet	MEDIUM	Schedule a ground inspection to verify blockage and maintenance needs.
Bridge OR-003 Image 113	Surface wear on approach	MONITOR	Document a baseline and include in the next inspection cycle.

Typical deliverables: annotated imagery, mapped asset references, ranked findings, and exportable repair lists. Final scope and reporting formats are agreed for each project.
