COUNTER-uAv WEAPON SYSTEM
SkyDefense's command system, known as VRAM (Visual Realtime Area Monitoring) Mission Control, combines AI-powered "AI Agent" with a control interface that keeps human operators in the decision-making loop. CobraJet interceptors are trained in an AI-generated 3D virtual environment that enables them to react immediately to a variety of drone swarm scenarios.
The jets can also communicate verbally with each other and perform as a team to optimize their air defense capabilities. This system enables CobraJet to operate seamlessly in contested electromagnetic environments, thanks to jam-proof radios, cellular, cellular/satellite, or direct satellite (Starlink/Starshield) communications to enhance operational efficiency in electronic warfare (EW) scenarios.

VRAM Mission Control
For law enforcement, DHS, and certain military applications, SkyDefense offers a mobile configuration where its VRAM Mission Control is housed in tactical or armored BEVs. This mobile platform is designed for extreme environments, boasting low acoustic and thermal signatures to evade enemy detection.

ADVANTAGES OF DISTRIBUTED AREA DEFENSE
Distributed Area Defense System is Patent-Pending. Title - "Low-Cost Counter UAV Weapon System" and allows for a low-cost counter UAV weapon system. The CobraJets serve as the "eyes and ears" of the area defense system. The jets are positioned to be ready to engage the hostile UAS immediately without having to fly from a central location. This reduces the time to reach the threat and by being positioned along the perimeter ensures that the UAS are detected quickly before reaching the protected area.
- The VRAM Mission Control incorporates a powerful AI-enabled "AI Agent" operating system and Starlink/Starshield communications.
- Two or more CobraJets detect approaching drones and send their visual and audio data to the VRAM Mission Control to confirm identification.
- VRAM Mission Control is a human-operated command post that receives video and audio from the jets to determine if the drones are friend or foe and instructs the CobraJets accordingly. VRAM maintains operator-in-the-loop in the decision chain.
- VRAM delivers the correct balance of CobraJet autonomy and human control.
CobraJets can be seamlessly integrated into DoD current and future command and control architecture and components.
