Sentinel Armatek Prime – Weapon-Mounted Torch, Laser & Tracking Solution

The Sentinel Armatek Prime is the flagship multifunctional platform within the Armatek range, combining high-intensity illumination, precision laser capability, and BLE micro-tracking in a rugged, Picatinny-compatible form factor. Designed for personal use, tactical operators, and law enforcement personnel, the Sentinel Prime enhances both operational capability and firearm accountability.
 
At the core of the system is the Sentinel Node, powered by a long-life CR2032 lithium battery providing up to 12 months of tracking. This enables persistent firearm visibility, last-seen location history, and unauthorised movement detection through the global BLE crowdsourced detection method, irrespective of whether the firearm is in storage, transit, active deployment or charged. 
 
The Prime integrates two high-performance tactical sub-systems: 
350-lumen tactical torch, engineered for threat identification, room clearing, and low-light engagements. 
All-conditions aiming laser, delivering rapid target acquisition in dynamic environments. 
 
This illumination and targeting components are powered independently from the tracking module via an internal rechargeable battery, offering approximately 45 minutes of combined operational runtime. Recharging is conducted through an onboard USB charging port, enabling rapid turnaround and continuous operational readiness. 
 
Durable, recoil-resistant, and weather-proof, the Sentinel Armatek Prime provides a comprehensive tactical solution that strengthens oversight while giving firearm operators superior field capability.
