New Unmanned Aircraft System and Ground
Operator Detection, Identification, and Tracking System With
Mitigation Capability
Proprietary System Brings Safety to
Protected Airspace and High-Value Assets
CACI International Inc (NYSE MKT: CACI) today announced the
release of SkyTrackerTM, a precision system to protect high-value
assets and support public safety against the escalating threat
posed by the inadvertent or unlawful misuse of unmanned aircraft
systems (UAS), also known as aerial drones. SkyTracker’s UAS
detection, identification, and tracking system uses the drone’s
radio links to precisely identify and locate UAS flying in banned
or protected airspace, and has the unique capability to locate UAS
ground operators. This proprietary CACI technology has been
demonstrated to address a variety of UAS threat scenarios. The
system is widely applicable, from protecting airports to
safeguarding critical infrastructure or events – anywhere UAS pose
a potential risk to people or assets.
SkyTracker accurately detects, identifies, and tracks UAS
threats. The system’s mitigation capability provides responders
with precise information in a defined geographic location in order
to initiate countermeasures that, unlike other technologies, do not
interfere with legitimate electronics or communications systems in
the area, or with UAS that are being operated responsibly as
determined by the U.S. government.
The SkyTracker system design is modular and scalable for
application in different environments. It can protect high-value
assets in geographically compact locations such as government
buildings, embassies, and stadiums, as well as provide wide-area
defense of airports, military bases, and areas under temporary
flight bans such as locations experiencing forest fires. SkyTracker
provides continuous, automated monitoring, day or night, in any
weather condition.
John Mengucci, CACI’s Chief Operating Officer and President of
U.S. Operations, said, “CACI’s SkyTracker system provides our
customers with the unique capability to precisely locate unmanned
aircraft systems and their ground operators. Our system has been
demonstrated to address a variety of UAS threat scenarios. In
addition to the protection of airports, an effort undertaken in our
recently announced research and development agreement with the
federal government, SkyTracker has broad applications in the
protection of critical infrastructure, stadiums, events, or
anywhere drones pose a potential risk to people or assets.”
According to CACI President and Chief Executive Officer Ken
Asbury, “CACI is proud to advance our SkyTracker solution to
address the rapidly escalating threat posed by the misuse of
unmanned aircraft systems. The development of innovative
technological solutions in response to complex security threats is
in our DNA. We built SkyTracker to address one of the most complex
challenges facing those responsible for protecting critical
infrastructure.”
