Skylock
Counter-drone and airspace security system providing detection, tracking, and mitigation of unauthorized drones.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Skylock is an Israeli defense technology company founded in 2014 that develops counter-drone systems for protecting critical sites from unauthorized unmanned aerial vehicles. The company's technology detects, identifies, tracks, and mitigates drone threats using advanced sensors, signal intelligence, and electronic countermeasures.
Skylock addresses the rapidly growing threat of malicious drone use at airports, military bases, critical infrastructure, and public events. The system combines passive RF detection, radar, electro-optical sensors, and cyber-based mitigation techniques to provide comprehensive drone defense without kinetic engagement. The platform can discriminate between authorized and unauthorized drones and neutralize threats through jamming, protocol manipulation, or cyber takeover.
The company serves military, government, and critical infrastructure customers globally. Skylock represents Israeli innovation in counter-drone technology, a critical emerging defense capability as small UAS proliferate and pose asymmetric threats to high-value targets.
