C-UAS stands for Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems. It refers to a multi-layered security framework designed to detect, track, and mitigate unauthorized drones using either electronic or physical (kinetic) means.

What is the difference between drone detection and drone mitigation?

Drone detection involves identifying a UAS in the airspace using RF, radar, or optical sensors. Drone mitigation is the active process of neutralizing that threat, either through electronic jamming or physical kinetic interception like SkyGuard’s passive mesh systems.

How does the APEX Canopy System™ work?

The APEX Canopy System™ provides TIER 1 360° protection using Kevlar-reinforced UHMWPE mesh to intercept high-velocity UAS and payload detonations over critical infrastructure.

C-UAS stands for Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems. It is a multi-layered security framework designed to detect, track, and mitigate unauthorized drones using either electronic disruption or physical kinetic means.

What is the difference between drone detection and drone mitigation?

Drone detection is identifying a UAS in airspace using sensors. Drone mitigation is the neutralization of that threat. SkyGuard focuses on Passive Kinetic Mitigation, physically stopping drones with specialized mesh like the APEX Canopy™.

How does the APEX Canopy System™ protect high-value assets?

The APEX Canopy System™ provides TIER 1 360-degree protection using Kevlar-reinforced UHMWPE mesh and TensionLock™ architecture to intercept high-velocity UAS and payload detonations.

Does SkyGuard offer mobile C-UAS systems?

Yes. RANGER Mobile Defense™ is a trailer-mounted system with RapidRise™ technology for sub-120 second tactical deployment at temporary high-security events.

What is the SENTINEL Perimeter Shield™?

The SENTINEL Perimeter Shield™ is a vertical barrier system designed to prevent low-altitude drone ingress. It uses a modular linkage design with an integrated sensor grid for 360-degree perimeter security.
