San Diego-based start-up SkySafe has won a $1.5 million contract from the Pentagon to supply its drone-jamming technology to the Naval Special Warfare unit in the form of a system that can be mounted on a light tactical vehicle. “We focus entirely on radio frequency technology,” said SkySafe CEO Grant Jordan. “We look at all the signals coming from the drones and from the controllers. We build tools to detect, identify, track, and intercept drones in those spaces.” The system is intended to create a protective zone of up to a kilometre around the vehicle, allowing it to fend off drone attacks.
