SKYRIX Platform Family

One UAV platform.
Two mission profiles.

SKYRIX is being developed in two configurations built around different operational priorities: AI-driven autonomous operation and extended reach with SKYRIX Horizon, and rapid response with SKYRIX RR, designed for immediate deployment following target designation.

SKYRIX HORIZON

Horizon is the extended-range configuration of the SKYRIX platform, designed around AI-driven autonomous operation and intelligent visual target acquisition. The aircraft can conduct missions autonomously or be operated remotely during the search phase. Its AI-based vision system supports target identification and acquisition, while its modular sensor architecture allows mission-specific daylight, night-vision and thermal configurations. The platform is being developed towards fully autonomous operation.

SKYRIX RR

RR is the rapid-response SKYRIX configuration, designed to act against an already detected and designated aerial target. It combines a dedicated radar-detection and targeting unit with a purpose-built interceptor platform, enabling target acquisition and tracking before deployment. Following launch, the system is being developed towards autonomous target acquisition and completion of the final phase, with an emphasis on rapid response and minimal operator intervention.

Development Targets

One platform.
Two configurations.

Two configurations built around different operational priorities. Horizon focuses on extended reach and AI-driven autonomy, while RR is designed for rapid response to an already detected and designated target. Both form part of a wider development roadmap towards an intelligent, coordinated defence system.

Supply Chain Strategy

NDAA-Aligned Supply Chain Strategy

SKYRIX prioritizes non-Chinese sourcing for critical components, with electronics and key systems selected to support applicable customer and procurement requirements. Final compliance will be assessed against the production bill of materials and relevant procurement standards.

Non-Chinese Critical Components
Validation Status: 300 km/h speed and 2,000 m altitude have been demonstrated during initial prototype testing. All other performance figures and system capabilities shown above represent development objectives and remain subject to validation in their respective configurations.
Modular Architecture

Interchangeable Mission Module.

SKYRIX uses an interchangeable mission tray that can be configured with a compact day or night camera depending on the mission.

Development Program

From prototype to production.

Earlier SKYRIX airframe flight testing is complete. The current prototype combines connected camera hardware with working AI target acquisition and is being prepared for its first integrated flight. The overall system is currently assessed as a provisional TRL 4 candidate, pending further validation.

Completed

Prototype Design & Manufacture

Custom airframe, internal structure and integrated electronics produced and assembled.

Completed

Earlier Airframe Flight Testing

Earlier flight prototypes demonstrated approximately 300 km/h and 1,000 m altitude during initial airframe testing.

Completed

Sensor Hardware & AI Integration

Mission-selectable day or night camera hardware is integrated one camera at a time, and AI target acquisition is operating in controlled ground testing.

Current Phase

Integrated Prototype Flight Testing

The camera-and-AI-equipped prototype has not yet flown. First-flight preparation and controlled validation are now the active phase.
