SkySafe

SkySafe is a San Diego-based airspace security and management technology company that provides cloud-based counter-drone solutions. The company's core technology is built on a deep understanding of drone communication protocols, allowing it to detect, track, and analyze drone flights in a given airspace. SkySafe employs advanced radio frequency (RF) technology, reverse engineering, and deep threat analysis to develop tools that enable the safe operation of authorized drones while protecting against airspace security threats.

SkySafe's approach involves deploying a network of sensors across cities to provide airspace coverage. These sensors detect drone signals, and the data is processed on the cloud to provide real-time and historical information on drone flights, including location, serial number, flight path, speed, and other critical details. This information is then provided to clients such as airports, prisons, border protection agencies, and other critical infrastructure operators through a subscription-based model.

SkySafe has been successfully testing and deploying its counter-drone capabilities to military and public safety customers, both domestic and abroad, since 2015. The company has secured multiple multi-million dollar contracts with major US military allies in Asia for its advanced counter-drone system.

In addition to its core airspace monitoring capabilities, SkySafe also offers drone forensics services. The company has developed a certification course to train law enforcement and forensic examiners on extracting and analyzing data from recovered drones, which can be critical in prosecuting offenders involved in drone-related criminal activities.

Key customers and partnerships

Two of the key areas SkySafe has focused on over the last year are airports and prisons, which the company considers to be among the most significant drone threats. SkySafe is actively working with partners and targeting the US Department of Corrections as a major customer for its drone detection and monitoring solutions.
