CACI International has won a contract from the Department of War to deploy its advanced drone defense system SkyValor at the U.S. southern border.
Under the contract, CACI will deliver SkyValor as a transportable drone defense system that can be quickly deployed where needed. The system combines advanced sensing and automated defeat capabilities to find, track and stop hostile drones before they threaten national security operations.
This work supports national security efforts to counter the threat of hostile drones and strengthen homeland defense in high-priority operating environments, the company said.
“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 CEO.
“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.”
