Simulated tanks & armoured vehicles
Full-scale inflatable main battle tanks, reproduced from the platforms in service with your forces.
Inflatable military decoys since 1999
The Unseen Sentinel
1:1 inflatable decoys for tanks, fighter aircraft and radar — engineered for radar, infrared, visible, acoustic and smoke signatures, and deployed by two people in minutes.
Delivered to 20+ countries
Innovation driven
In-house R&D near Hangzhou developing patented inflation structures, coating systems and remote-control platforms.
Manufacturing excellence
A 16,000 m² base with more than 80 production machines and a full quality-assurance chain from fabric to final inflation test.
Global service
Systems in service across the Middle East, South America, Africa and the CIS, with 10 years of long-term international cooperation.

Product portfolio
Decoys for the platforms that matter
Eight families of inflatable and prefabricated equipment, all reproducible to 1:1 scale from the platforms you operate.
Simulated aircraft & helicopters
Inflatable fighters, transport aircraft and helicopters, with optional remote-controlled movement.
Simulated radar & air-defence positions
Radar vehicles, Patriot-class systems and complete air-defence deception positions.
Simulated missile launchers
Transporter-erector launchers and air-defence missile vehicles, with erectable tubes.
Functional vehicles
Command posts, shelter vehicles, jammer platforms and satellite communication vehicles.
Simulated artillery
Self-propelled howitzers, rocket artillery, anti-aircraft guns and towed field guns.
Prefabricated mobile space
Inflatable hangars and shelters for aircraft, storage and emergency support, with PLC pressure control.
Aerostats
Tethered airships for long-endurance observation and helium surveillance balloons.

Why SENTINEL
Deception that survives first contact
01
Multi-spectral fidelity
Radar, infrared, visible, acoustic and smoke signatures are engineered as one system, not added on afterwards.
02
1:1 replication
Every decoy is reverse-modelled from the real platform, so silhouette, proportions and detail scale match exactly.
03
Fast deployment
Modular structure, one-key automatic inflation and two-person assembly keep emplacement times down to minutes.
04
Proven longevity
High-strength composite fabrics with 15-year service life resist mildew, chemicals, flame and UV, and redeploy repeatedly.

Deception engineering notes
Technical articles on inflatable decoys, signature management, mobile hangars and aerostats — written for procurement and engineering teams.
Tethered aerostats or quadcopter UAVs for persistent surveillance?
Both give you an eye in the air. They differ in endurance, coverage, cost per hour and how much of your manpower they consume. A short comparison for planning fixed-site surveillance.

Inflatable hangars for austere airfields
A 40-metre clear-span hangar that arrives in crates and stands in days changes what an austere airfield can support. Here is what to plan for — span, anchoring, pressure control and power.

What 1:1 replication really means for a tank decoy
A convincing tank decoy is not simply a tank-shaped balloon. Hull angles, road-wheel spacing, turret overhang and barrel length all have to match — and each of them changes how the target reads to a different sensor.
