OVERVIEW
Skywall Captures Drones & Protects
+ No electronic countermeasure
+ Predictable outcome
+ Automatic system that can be remotely operated
+ Vehicle or building mount
+ Multiple targets engaged rapidly
+ AI computer vision tracking
+ Controlled descent using a parachute
+ All projectile parts remain attached
+ Targeted counter-measure aiming and release
SkyWall Auto is an autonomous system that is remotely operated and rapidly captures multiple targets in accurately-delivered nets, deployed in conjunction with electronic counter-measures for a layered defence, or in environments where electronic attack cannot be used.
It can be used as a standalone drone capture system or be integrated with a drone detection and security system to offer a highly capable and easy to operate counter drone solution. A single SkyWall Auto system can protect a high-value asset or multiple systems can be networked and deployed to protect a large site.
SkyWall Auto launches a projectile up to the target drone after the system has autonomously acquired and tracked it using world leading edge AI technology. The system can be permanently installed on a building or vehicle mounted for a mobile deployment.

02
Automatic Operation
A single operator can control SkyWall Auto remotely.
The onboard target acquisition-and-tracking system allows the operator to concentrate on tactical decision making.
03
Low Collateral Damage
SkyWall Auto has several built in safety features to ensure it is safe to use in public areas.
Automatic parachute deployment for controlled descent of the captured drone and projectile.
04
Long Range Physical Capture
Safe recovery for forensic analysis and evidence.
Defend against all types of aerial drone, now and future.
Zero RF or GPS interference in urban environments.
05
Targeting System
An advanced targeting system gives a high capture rate on static or moving targets.
The AI computer vision system allows SkyWall Auto to rapidly engage multiple targets.
PROJECTILES
SkyWall projectiles are re-useable and can carry a range of counter measures. The SP40 includes a parachute which controls the descent of a captured drone.
This minimises the risk of any collateral damage and keeps the drone intact. It allows forensic investigation and enables identification of the operator.
If the drone eludes capture, the projectile deploys regardless and controls the safe descent of the tethered components.
Technology that allows drone capture at the press of one button.
SkyWall Auto is an Autonomous System that Includes Openworks Sky AI Capabilities.
SkyAI’s tracking technology brings highly capable performance when tracking targets against complex backgrounds and following fixed-winged threats.
SkyAI’s deep-learning neural network classification is used to quickly and reliably detect the target and achieve the most capable drone tracking and capture system on the market.
SkyWall Auto has already proven its ability to physically capture drones in front of US military and government agencies during recent high-profile tests held in Indiana and New Mexico. SkyWall Auto engaged targets at the Black Dart and JIDO Hard Kill events, successfully engaging multi-rotor and fixed-wing targets at both test events during a range of scenarios.
CASE STUDY
SkyWall Auto Response deployed to protect world leaders at the G7 summit in Germany
As leaders from around the world visited the G7 meeting in Germany, the continued use of drones in the Ukraine conflict proves the threat from drone attack is ever present. SkyWall Auto Response was deployed as part of the security architecture and successfully protected the G7 Summit from unauthorized drones.
SkyWall Auto provides a mobile and fast response that can optically track drones at long ranges and then capture a drone should one enter the protected area. The handheld SkyWall Patrol system has been deployed at several G7 events since 2017 and this is the first publicly releasable deployment of the advanced autonomous SkyWall Auto system.
