FORWARD
One of the most enjoyable aspects of industrial design is delving into the aesthetics of a project, which has only become more rewarding as my CAD skills have evolved over time. This particular concept served as an exploration in 3D form. I had a lot of fun bringing this concept to life allowing me to experiment with a blend of sci-fi narrative and tactical aesthetics while maintaining a physical scale of a feasible mass-produced product.
"X47-9A Satellite Sentinel
These are the design images for a compact satellite connected console concept. Able to provide coordinates and relay position back. Multiple connection ports to be used as an FOB computer. Impact rated, waterproof, and able to withstand a point blank shot from a Beretta M9A1"
"A short length antenna can be unfastened when disassembling. The two carry handles can also be removed and repurposed onto other products within the Sentinel family."
" Display is an OLED 400nits 60hz, with optional night vision glass cover to prevent attracting attention."
"Practical features carried over from the previous Sentinel are the diamond pattern universal gripping nubs, molded with a custom TPE recipe trademarked to REDACTED."
"...milled aluminum composite support covers the rear camera/sensor in case of catastrophic damage, the internal black box can be recovered. A carbon fiber vent is a recent addition to the Sentinel product line, boasting a 12% weight reduction from the previous gen."
"Outward facing lidar cameras lets Sentinel send back local geography and elevation."
