SkyWall Auto Response is a vehicle mounted solution that can rapidly capture multiple targets in accurately delivered nets. The build in AI-powered optical tracking system uses EO and IR cameras with automatic targeting to lock onto any incoming drone, allowing the operator to make a threat assessment with high quality imagery and engage if desired.
 
This vehicle mounted capability can cover a large area and the targeting system can be networked to integrate with detection capabilities and also be remotely operated from a central command post.

The vehicle can be positioned deployed close to any vulnerable point or the SkyWall system can be hidden under the pop-up covers until it is required, protecting it from prying eyes and the elements.

The SkyWall Auto system has also been delivered in towed trailer configurations and can be permanently installed on buildings or semi-permanent containers.
