The Jaegars will be equipped with Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) and purpose-built cold-starter kits to ensure the platforms’ rapid functionality in colder climates such as those of harsh Scandinavian winters. Like all Silent Sentinel products, the Jaegar is designed to retain its high performance in the harshest and most challenging environments.

The Jaegar platform features a unique through-shaft which enables fixed payloads to be mounted above the Pan-Tilt director. Silent Sentinel platforms can be seamlessly integrated into existing threat detection networks and are designed with modularity in mind, offering next-generation technology as standard for customers and end users.
