Counter-Shahed defence from the proven Ukrainian specialists.
This threat is no longer theoretical.
Shahed-type one-way, long-range attack drones are cheap, expendable and proliferating fast.
Defence facilities, energy plants, ports, refineries and logistics hubs are large, fixed and difficult to harden comprehensively; while conventional air defence was built to counter fast jets and high-end missiles, not dozens of low, slow, small targets arriving simultaneously.
Even limited physical damage can generate sustained uncertainty and disruption. Attacks in Ukraine and the Middle East are not isolated phenomena, but a warning of the threat to come.
A proven solution.
Only one country has expertise in persistent defence against this threat, demonstrated night after night, at scale: Ukraine.
Skua Defence is the UK-headquartered international partner to the leading Ukrainian capability centres, offering access to those leading capabilities to aligned governments, infrastructure operators and industry to help them prepare for this threat.
We are hardware-neutral vendors of the end-to-end support needed to prepare to defeat this threat.
Our end-to-end services.
Security Audit
Mapping of critical points, attack vectors, and vulnerabilities. RF, electro-optical, and infrared inspection of your site.
Training
Your teams trained across detection system operation; command and communications; electronic and kinetic counter-measures; and mobile response teams. Training delivered through simulators, staff exercises, and live ground work.
Protection Design
Custom protection plans for your territory or assets. Threat scenarios modelled with probability and impact assessment. Anti-drone structure planning.
SOPs & Rules of Engagement
Operational procedures and response rules developed specifically for your context, whether that's a combat alert or a cyber incident. Periodically reviewed and updated.
Equipment & Integration
Interceptor (as appropriate), EW/RF system, and sensor network design, recommendations and deployment. Integration into a unified command dashboard.
Testing & Validation
Full-chain modelling in real conditions. We measure detection time, response time, interception success rate, and impact on operations. You receive a report with findings and scaling recommendations.
Solutions for government and industry.
Industrial Operators Layered, non-kinetic defence including early detection, electronic countermeasures, physical hardening, and trained personnel who know exactly what to do when an alert sounds. We design protection systems that work within civilian constraints, regulatory frameworks, and insurance requirements.
For State & Military Organisations Scalable territorial defence that integrates with your existing command structure. Layered detection, electronic warfare, and kinetic interception, coordinated through a single operational picture. We provide the architecture, the training, and the battle-tested procedures to stand up counter-drone capability across an entire region.
Forged in the world’s most intense drone war.
Since 2022, Ukraine has faced the largest sustained drone campaign in history. Our team has been on the front line of that fight, protecting critical infrastructure, training operators, developing procedures, and refining systems under real combat conditions.
Full details available to qualified parties under non-disclosure agreement.
This isn't theory. Every element has been tested against live Shahed attacks on Ukrainian territory. We bring that experience to your defence.
Don’t wait for the first strike.
Start with a security assessment. We'll evaluate your site, map your vulnerabilities, and deliver a clear protection plan — typically within weeks, not months.
