SKYGUARD TACTICAL

Autonomous Acoustic Air Defense Network. Edge-Native. Zero-Latency.

/// MISSION BRIEF

THE PROBLEM: Unauthorized drone surveillance costs construction sites $50k/day in delays. Critical infrastructure faces persistent counter-UAS gaps. Film productions lose $150k per incident.

THE SOLUTION: SkyGuard uses a 4-stage machine learning pipeline to detect drone acoustic signatures in real-time. Unlike visual systems (defeated by darkness/weather), acoustic detection works 24/7.

Designed by a 25 Service Battalion veteran. Built for Operational Resilience.

DETECTION ACCURACY 85.2%
11 Drone Classes
FALSE POSITIVE REJ 80%
Harmonic Filtering
LATENCY 17ms

/// DEPLOYMENT VECTORS

SkyGuard is architected for specific high-risk verticals where failure is not an option.

SCENARIO ALPHA: BORDER SECURITY

Remote Patrol & Interdiction

Canada's 8,891 km border faces increasing drone smuggling. SkyGuard mobile arrays allow patrol units to detect surveillance drones in weather conditions where visual systems fail.

SCENARIO BRAVO: CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Perimeter Defense

Power generation and telecommunications facilities require 24/7 protection. SkyGuard provides automated alerting for reconnaissance drones before they breach restricted airspace.

SCENARIO CHARLIE: CONSTRUCTION

Site Integrity Monitoring

Unauthorized surveillance creates competitive leaks and safety violations. SkyGuard monitors the perimeter and sends SMS alerts to site security instantly.

SCENARIO DELTA: FILM PRODUCTION

IP Protection

Paparazzi drones cost productions $150k/incident. Mobile units with tactical radar displays integrate into existing security protocols for high-value shoots.

/// 4-STAGE CASCADE PIPELINE

Most systems are optimized for demos. SkyGuard is optimized for Silence (Low False Positives).

  • 1. Harmonic Pre-Filter: Rejects 80% of biological noise (birds/wind) in 5ms using FFT.
  • 2. MobileNetV2 Classification: Custom trained on 11 distinct drone signatures.
  • 3. OOD Detection: Critical. Uses Mahalanobis distance to flag "Unknown/Modified" drones that don't match the database.
  • 4. Temporal Smoothing: 7-frame rolling average prevents operator alert fatigue.
