Skapion unveils counter-swarm air defence system

Israeli defence technology startup Skapion unveiled an unnamed counter-drone-swarm air-defence system at the Association of the United States Army exhibition in Washington, held October 12–14, 2026. The proposed architecture is designed to detect, allocate engagements and defeat multiple coordinated unmanned aircraft, including mixed swarms that may contain decoys and faster jet-powered drones. Skapion says its development approach combines artificial intelligence, modelling and simulation to adapt to evolving attack patterns. The company previously announced a $36 million seed funding round in July, but it has not publicly demonstrated a completed operational system or disclosed verified engagement performance.
