Skybeam: Compact Counter-Drone Capability for Tactical Forces

A Growing Need for Deployable Counter-UAS Capability

Autonomous Guard has been featured in The Jerusalem Post following a new follow-up order from a security customer in Asia for Skybeam, the compact counter-UAS system produced by Skylock Systems.

The order, valued at approximately $400,000, follows an initial order of around $200,000 from the same customer only two months earlier. According to The Jerusalem Post, delivery is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.

The use of drones has moved from isolated incidents to a central security concern for military, homeland security and law enforcement organisations.

Across border zones, military bases, public security environments and critical infrastructure sites, low-altitude threats are becoming faster, cheaper and more accessible. Small commercial drones, modified UAVs and tactical unmanned platforms can be used for surveillance, disruption, smuggling, intelligence gathering or direct attack.

This is changing how security agencies and defence ministries approach procurement. The need is no longer only to detect a drone. The requirement is to identify, assess, disrupt and respond to threats in real time, while maintaining operational control and reducing risk to forces, civilians and infrastructure.

Skybeam Supports Tactical Forces

Skybeam is designed to support tactical forces with a compact, lightweight and combat-portable counter-UAS capability. The system combines detection, jamming and interception functions to support real-time response against drone threats in the field. Its deployable format makes it relevant for security forces operating in dynamic environments where mobility, speed and immediate action are essential.
For security customers, this type of capability addresses a clear operational gap: the need to move beyond static site protection and provide forces with practical tools for field-level counter-drone defence.
