Marketing Plan + SMART Goals

Military Messaging Name:

Sentinel™ – Shield of the Homeland. Watcher of the City.

Taglines:

• “Agile. Armored. Aware.”

• “Protection with precision.”

• “Built for the cities. Ready for the unexpected.”

• “Watchmen on four wheels.”

SMART Goals:

• S: Field-test 2 demo units with DHS by Q4 2025

• M: Secure $350M in agency contracts within 12 months

• A: Utilize U.S. manufacturing partners in Detroit and Texas

• R: Replace 60% of current urban tactical fleet by 2027

• T: Full production line ready by Q1 2026

SWOT Analysis

Strengths:

• Electric + hybrid = sustainable and quiet ops

• Urban-optimized design

• Modular utility options

• Full AI and non-lethal defense systems

• Versatile across multiple agencies (civilian + defense)

Weaknesses:

• May require AI trust-building for autonomous modes

• Urban-specific—less ideal for open field combat

Opportunities:

• Global smart-city contracts

• First responder + private security adaptations

• Special Olympics, public events, UN deployment partnerships

Threats:

• Civil rights challenges in non-lethal defense settings

• Electric grid dependency (mitigated by solar/regen)
