CACI says SkyValor drone defense system has been selected for deployment at the Southern Border, with full-rate production set to accelerate delivery of the capability for homeland security operations.
CACI International has been awarded a contract by the Department of War (DoW) to deploy SkyValor, CACI’s advanced drone defense system, at the US Southern Border.
The deployment will support a broader national security effort to counter the growing threat of hostile drones and strengthen homeland defense in high-priority operating environments.
“Drone threats are evolving quickly, and they are challenging the way we protect our forces, borders and critical infrastructure,” said John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer.
“SkyValor gives defenders the advantage with earlier warning, faster decisions and precise defeat of hostile drones with low-to-no collateral impact. With successful operational evaluations complete, we are moving SkyValor into full-rate production to deliver this capability at the speed our customers need.”
Under the contract, CACI will deliver SkyValor as a transportable drone defense system that can be deployed rapidly where protection is needed most.
SkyValor combines advanced sensing, automated defeat capabilities and decades of counter-drone experience to find, track and stop hostile drones – including cellular-enabled drones – before they can threaten national security operations. SkyValor gives warfighters and homeland defenders the precision needed to stay ahead of rapidly evolving drone threats.
