SkyDefender, Integral Air and Missile Defence dome
All SkyDefender components are managed through the SkyView airspace C2 system.
The SkyView Alliance version, deployed across NATO, guarantees seamless interoperability with allied multi-domain C2 platforms, as well as with a wide range of radars and defence systems.
SkyView is already operational within the NATO Ballistic Missile Defence Operational Centre, demonstrating its proven integration and effectiveness in real-world missions.

How it works
SkyDefender combines a network of state-of-the-art radars and effectors that work together to protect all airspace layers:
• The ForceShield solution protects against diverse very short or short-range threats including drones;
• SAMP/T-NG offers theatre protection with an engagement range of up to 150 km;
• The SMART-L MM, the Tactical UHF and new UHF advanced long-range radars can detect potential threats at distances of up to 5,000 km.
When associated with surveillance satellites, they provide early warning, ensuring critical threats are identified as soon as possible.
