3D MIMO radar and soft-kill jammer system for airspace defense
Advanced Protection Systems manufactures SKYctrl, a drone detection and neutralization platform built on FIELDctrl 3D MIMO radars paired with electro-optical sensors and multi-band jammers. The tech stack—Java/Spring backend, React frontend, PostgreSQL, Docker/Kubernetes, embedded C++ and STM32—reflects a dual engineering challenge: cloud-native command-and-control software layered over real-time sensor processing and RF hardware. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering (8 roles), signaling a push to scale both detection algorithms and partner integrations rather than direct sales capacity.
Advanced Protection Systems designs and manufactures drone detection and neutralization systems for critical infrastructure, military, government, and event-security use cases. The core product, SKYctrl, integrates FIELDctrl 3D MIMO radars (operating in the unlicensed 10 GHz band), electro-optical/infrared sensors, and directive multi-band jammers to detect and neutralize unmanned aircraft at ranges up to 6,000 meters in all-weather conditions. The system distinguishes drones from birds using advanced signal processing and includes monitoring, alerting, and incident-archiving software. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Gdynia, Poland, the company operates in the 51–200 employee range with ongoing projects in radar data visualization, external device integration, and Linux-based anti-drone software architecture.
SKYctrl uses FIELDctrl 3D MIMO radars (10 GHz band), electro-optical/infrared cameras, and advanced signal-processing algorithms to detect drones up to 6,000 meters away while minimizing false alarms and differentiating drones from birds.
