Horizon

A fixed station that watches your site 24 hours a day from the top of a mast, and tells your radar, cameras, C2 and loudspeakers which drone it is and where its pilot stands.

First series · built to order

The SkyKraken Horizon station: a white enclosure with three antennas, mounted on a mast with a single network cable
SkyKraken HorizonNon-contractual visual

The case’s intelligence, installed for good.

Horizon brings everything the Mobile case does to a permanent installation: identification of DJI drones and European Remote ID, the positions of the drone and the pilot, threat classifier, history and evidence. What it adds is a voice: it speaks directly to the systems already running on your site.

10km

Up to, in line of sight on clear terrain. Real range is measured on your site during the trial.

1cable

Power and data over a single network cable, on your masts, poles and trailers.

24/7

Continuous watch, identities, positions, threat levels and zones.

Its radio signature, live.

Mobile and Horizon listen to the 2.4 and 5.8 GHz bands where DJI drones and Remote ID live: OcuSync control hopping, the video link that moves across the band, Remote ID beacons over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Each signature is decoded into a model, a serial number and positions.

A drone enters the zone. Your systems act without anyone touching them.

A typical chain on a site equipped with a radar, PTZ cameras, a C2 or VMS, and loudspeakers.

  1. Radar

    Detects and tracks a target.

  2. Horizon

    Identifies it: DJI Mavic 3, serial number, pilot at 420 m.

  3. PTZ camera

    Points at the drone, then at the pilot, to remove doubt.

  4. C2 / VMS

    Alarm “high level” with the identity and the map.

  5. Loudspeakers

    Alert message broadcast in the zone concerned.

Integration, system by system.

We adapt the station’s outputs to the format each of your systems expects. Every connector is developed by SkyKraken, delivered tested on your platform and reusable on all your sites.

ConnectorWhat it does
Alerts to your C2 or tactical pictureEach detection creates a track, an event or an alarm in your tool: position, identity, threat level.
Video management (VMS)Alarms in Milestone, Genetec or your VMS, with the drone’s identity.
Automatic PTZ pointingCameras turn on their own towards the drone, then towards the pilot (ONVIF protocol).
Radar + radio identity fusionEach radar track receives the drone’s identity and its pilot’s position when they are available.
Alert broadcastA message is played automatically over your loudspeakers according to the zone and the threat level.

An open API, documented.

Horizon sends your systems, in real time, the identity of each drone, the position of its pilot and the threat level, and can enrich your own radar tracks.

  • REST API

    Current tracks, history, zones, whitelist and evidence dossiers, in JSON.

  • Real-time stream

    WebSocket: new track, update, zone entry, threat level change, end of track.

  • Your tools’ formats

    Webhooks, MQTT, VMS events or your C2’s format: we adapt the output.

  • Clear conventions

    WGS 84 positions, UTC timestamps, stable track identifiers, authenticated access.

WebSocket · example messageIllustrative values

Data sent for every drone.

The same fields on every connector, whatever system receives them.

DataContent
IdentityMake, model, serial number, detection source (DJI, Remote ID).
DroneLatitude, longitude, altitude, height, speed and heading.
Pilot and take-offPosition of the pilot and of the take-off point, when they are broadcast.
ThreatScore from 0 to 100, level (low, medium, high, critical) and reasons.
ContextProtected zone concerned, whitelist status, UTC timestamp of each point.

Sensor fusion, both ways.

The case and the SK-1 work autonomously. Horizon connects: it receives tracks from your sensors, or sends its own to your fusion engine.

  • In both directions

    Horizon takes in your radar tracks, cameras and other detectors, or feeds your own fusion engine.

  • Association by position and time

    A radar track and a radio detection of the same drone are merged into one identified track.

  • Deduplication

    A drone seen by several sources (DJI, Remote ID, several stations) appears only once.

  • Explained threat

    A score from 0 to 100 with its reasons, sent with every track.

How we integrate.

Three steps, with your teams, on your platform.

  1. Technical workshop

    Your tools, formats, network and security rules: together we define what must come through, and where.

  2. Development and tests

    The connector is developed by SkyKraken and delivered tested on your platform.

  3. Commissioning and follow-up

    On-site installation, then maintenance of the connector as your systems, and ours, evolve.

16 Aug 2026Sites of vital importance

Since the law of 16 August 2026, these operators and their security providers can be authorised to neutralise a threatening drone. Before acting, you need to know which drone it is: Horizon sets authorised drones aside and documents every threat.

A first Horizon site, built with you.

Adapted to your radar and your C2, with range measured against your radar as the reference. Confidentiality, resale and integration terms defined together.
