Today, I’m proud to officially launch SolarSentinel —
an open-source, modular, solar-powered, AI-enhanced tactical field network.
Built for real-world resilience. Designed for survival, exploration, training, and tactical gaming.
🛰️ Why SolarSentinel?
Modern crises — blackouts, disasters, exploration missions — demand more than just conventional internet-connected tools.
We need autonomous, resilient, and intelligent networks that can operate beyond the grid.
SolarSentinel solves this by combining:
- Solar-powered Raspberry Pi command decks
- LoRa and HAM APRS mesh communication
- Offline self-hosted AI (Ollama + RAG)
- Installable smartphone PWA field nodes
- Offline Wikipedia and survival libraries
- Modular RPG missions for real ops, training, or gaming
- Future AR and VR overlays for immersive tactical operations
All fully offline.
All 100% open source.
