SkyKraken
Passive radio-frequency drone detection, designed in Mérignac. SkyKraken listens without emitting, names the drone, finds the person flying it and seals every flight as evidence.
Available · sale or rental
The case you carry, open and switch on. In seconds it identifies the drones around you and puts the drone and its pilot on the map. Everything runs locally: no internet, no connection.
First series · built to order
A fixed station on a mast that watches your site 24 hours a day and talks directly to your systems: C2, video management, PTZ cameras, radar and loudspeakers.
Pre-order · delivery in 10 to 12 weeks
FPV drones fly fast and low, with no identifier and no Remote ID. The SK-1 warns the agent on the ground and shows them what the drone sees.
In development · pilot programme
Software that turns the cameras you already own into drone detectors, inside Genetec Security Center and Milestone XProtect. With Trace, every detection becomes a sealed evidence file.
1 Nov 2026New reporting rule
The interministerial instruction against malicious drones (order of 22 October 2026) asks sites to report any unauthorised overflight to the Interior Ministry’s national centralisation point within 6 hours. SkyKraken keeps everything that report needs: time, positions, model, serial number, trajectory and threat level.

Most security teams learn about a drone after the fact. SkyKraken reads the radio link every drone depends on. Scroll: the map answers each question in turn.
01Detect
Passive listening to the radio link between drone and remote control, and to the Remote ID broadcast. Nothing is emitted, and no line of sight is needed.
02Identify
Make, model and serial number for DJI drones; identifier for European Remote ID. Altitude, speed, heading and trajectory, live.
03Locate
Radio is the only technology that reveals the operator. SkyKraken maps the pilot and the take-off point so teams head for the person, not just the aircraft.
SkyKraken listens to the spectrum instead of transmitting into it. Passive detection needs no licence, causes no interference, warns no one, and still sees a drone hidden behind a building.
Radio expertise is our core. Every product in the range, from the case to camera software, is built on it, and our engineers adapt the outputs to the systems you already run.
Emits nothing: no licence, no interference, undetectable by the drone.
Works in dense urban terrain where radar and cameras are blind.
The only modality that shows where the operator is standing.
Every drone talks to its pilot over radio. Our engineers read each signature across the spectrum: FPV carriers on 1.2, 5.8 and 6.5 GHz, DJI OcuSync hopping and Remote ID beacons on 2.4 GHz. That is how SkyKraken names a drone without ever transmitting.
Horizon gives your radar, cameras, C2 and loudspeakers what they are missing: the identity of the drone and the position of its pilot. Each connector is developed by SkyKraken and delivered tested on your platform.
Detects and tracks a target.
Identifies it: DJI Mavic 3, serial number, pilot at 420 m.
Turns to the drone, then to the pilot, to remove doubt.
Raises a “high” alarm with the identity and the map.
Broadcast the alert message in the zone concerned.
Tracks, identities, positions, threat levels and zones, over REST and a WebSocket stream. Webhooks, MQTT, VMS events or your C2’s format: we adapt the output. WGS 84 positions, UTC timestamps, stable track identifiers, authenticated access.
| Connector | What it does |
|---|---|
| C2 and tactical picture | Each detection creates a track, event or alarm with position, identity and threat level. |
| Video management | Alarms in Milestone, Genetec or your VMS, with the drone’s identity. |
| PTZ cameras | Automatic pointing at the drone, then the pilot (ONVIF). |
| Radar fusion | Each radar track receives the drone’s identity and its pilot’s position. |
| Alert broadcast | Message played over your loudspeakers by zone and threat level. |

Integration detailsEvery flight is classified, filed by date and documented. The threat score from 0 to 100 explains itself rule by rule: zone, altitude, speed, approach, night flight. The dossier carries a SHA-256 fingerprint so the chain of custody holds.
Four levels, low to critical, with the reasons written out.
Find any flight by date, export one flight or a whole period.
A PDF dossier ready for the investigators.

One technology, four ways to deploy it, from a concert set up in an afternoon to an airport watched around the clock.
Concerts, sport, official visits, building sites: Mobile is in place in minutes, with no installation, and SK-1 covers the agents around the crowd.
Prisons, energy, industry, airports: Horizon watches the perimeter 24/7, and Eyes puts the cameras you already own to work.
Patrols and large gatherings: head for the pilot, and hand investigators a dossier they can use.
With passive radio-frequency detection. SkyKraken listens to the signals drones and their remote controls exchange, emits nothing, and works without line of sight.
Yes. For DJI drones, SkyKraken shows the positions of the drone, the pilot and the take-off point, with the model and serial number. Drones broadcasting European Remote ID are identified as well.
Mobile for events and temporary sites, Horizon for permanent sites that need integration, SK-1 for agents facing FPV drones, Eyes to add drone detection to the cameras you already have. Many sites combine them.
Horizon exposes a REST and WebSocket API, webhooks and MQTT. We develop the connectors for your C2, Milestone or Genetec, ONVIF PTZ cameras, radar fusion and alert broadcast, and deliver them tested on your platform.
Yes. Everything runs locally. The Mobile case works with no internet and no connection, with an offline map of all of France, and your data stays in the case.
For every flight, a PDF dossier with the classification reasons, trajectory, timestamped chronology and a SHA-256 fingerprint for the chain of custody, exported on USB.
