KeyOptions selected to deliver mobile SkyControl C-UAS platforms for SE Asia customer

KeyOptions has been selected to deliver advanced SkyControl counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) integrated on 4×4 platforms for a Tier 1 national-security customer in Southeast Asia. The order, valued at over US$ 3.5 million, further strengthens KeyOptions’ growing presence across the region and adds a highly mobile, mission-designed capability to a high-priority national-security programme. The SkyControl vehicle systems provide an integrated, layered, end-to-end C-UAS capability on a single mobile platform. Each vehicle integrates industry leading detection, identification and tracking systems into the SkyControl Command & Control C2, providing clear situational awareness, actionable insight and countermeasures, together with on-board operator, power, network and equipment infrastructure. The configuration has been engineered around the customer’s specific operational requirements. Rather than locking the programme into a single original equipment manufacturer ecosystem, KeyOptions has selected and integrated best fit technologies from multiple specialist suppliers; a mission designed approach that prioritises operational outcome over product catalogue. Luke McMichael, Executive Director, APAC of KeyOptions said: “This award is a Tier 1 national-security programme and a clear signal of the demand we are seeing for mobile, discreet and fully integrated C-UAS in Southeast Asia. The client needed high end capability packaged into a compact vehicle platform that can move with the mission; not a fixed site looking for a problem. We designed the system around their operational requirement, drawing on specialist sensors and effectors rather than forcing a single-vendor stack. The SkyControl vehicle platforms offer mobile 360-degree awareness, in a clean professional footprint. It is another significant step in KeyOptions’ expansion across Southeast Asia, and it positions us as a serious regional provider of advanced C-UAS and security capability.” Significant C-UAS capability is packaged into a compact, highly mobile ruggedised 4×4 platform. The fit-out incorporates integrated operator stations, power and networking, making the solution suitable for national-security, law-enforcement and protective operations where a discreet appearance is operationally important. SkyControl vehicle systems are designed for on-the-move use. Passive RF sensors and SkyControl C2 software provide 360-degree airspace awareness, with real-time drone detection at ranges of up to 35 kilometers, geolocation and Remote ID enhancement, optical and radar cueing, and the ability to detect and pinpoint both aircraft and pilot locations. The platform is compatible with civilian and military vehicles, meets MIL-STD-810H environmental and vibration requirements, and is intended for defence forces, law enforcement, critical infrastructure, event security and VIP protection.
