Skybeam: Compact Counter-Drone Capability for Tactical Forces
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 article highlights growing regional demand for deployable counter-drone capabilities as drone threats continue to evolve across Asia and globally.
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 requirement 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 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.
The follow-up order reflects the increasing importance of Asia as a growth region for advanced defence and homeland security technologies.
Regional tensions, expanding drone use, border security requirements and the need to protect strategic assets are driving demand for practical counter-UAS systems. The wider market is also shifting toward solutions that can be deployed quickly, integrated into operational workflows and adapted to changing threat profiles.
For Autonomous Guard, the order represents continued commercial momentum and growing customer confidence in the group’s portfolio of defence and homeland security technologies.
Autonomous Guard operates through two primary subsidiaries: Skylock Systems, focused on counter-drone detection and neutralisation, and BeeSense Sensor Systems, focused on advanced sensor-based observation and threat detection across land, air and sea.
Together, these capabilities support the company’s broader mission: to deliver integrated technologies for modern security challenges.
Drone threats are evolving quickly. Procurement strategies must evolve just as fast.
The market is moving beyond isolated hardware toward layered defence capabilities that connect detection, verification, command-and-control and response. This shift is especially important for military and homeland security customers facing complex low-altitude threats in real operational environments.
The Skybeam follow-up order demonstrates the growing demand for deployable, field-ready counter-UAS technologies that can support security forces where the threat is immediate and evolving.
As drone activity continues to reshape the defence and homeland security landscape, Autonomous Guard remains focused on delivering practical, scalable and operationally relevant technologies for customers worldwide.
