SkySwarm is a cost-effective counter-drone round developed to provide rapid, squad-level protection against small unmanned aerial threats. It delivers multiple high-velocity projectiles per shot to disrupt and neutralise Class I and Class II UAS.
No specialist platform. Minimal training burden. Rapid field adoption.
Small drones are a close-range, fast-moving threat
Class I and II UAS can appear with little warning, at short ranges, and in environments where specialist counter-UAS systems may be unavailable, impractical, or saturated.
SkySwarm provides an immediate kinetic response option at soldier level — enabling rapid engagement using familiar weapon handling.
What is SkySwarm?
SkySwarm is a counter-drone round that deploys a concentrated grouping of high-velocity projectiles with each shot. The projectile pattern is stabilised to deliver accurate dispersion towards the threat, creating a dense engagement envelope against small UAS.
How it’s used:
Load SkySwarm rounds into a magazine, engage the aerial threat, and fire as required — in semi or automatic modes depending on platform and rules of engagement.
Operational Advantages:
Does SkySwarm require specialist training?
SkySwarm is designed for rapid adoption using existing weapon handling principles and unit training frameworks. Familiarisation requirements will depend on the user’s SOPs and safety regime.
Is SkySwarm a replacement for electronic counter-UAS systems?
No — it complements electronic and sensor-based solutions by providing an immediate kinetic response option when those systems are unavailable or unsuitable.
What UAS classes is it designed to defeat?
SkySwarm ADR is designed to disrupt and neutralise Class I and Class II UAS threats.
