SMAC Enters Anti-Drone Solution Market... "Acquires Domestic Supply Rights for Israeli Company 'Skylark' Solution"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Smack announced on the 9th that it will join hands with SkyLock to target the domestic anti-drone solution market.

SkyLock is a homeland security company under the AVNON Group based in Israel. It is responsible for designing and producing anti-drone technology for detecting, verifying, and neutralizing unauthorized drones, targeting the global market.

Drones, which were mainly used in the fields of culture and arts, have become a convergence of modern technology and are now part of everyday life, being utilized in agriculture, surveying, mapping, filming, construction, and delivery services. However, negative incidents have also emerged alongside these developments.

According to foreign media, unauthorized or illegal drones or unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have been involved in incidents such as attempts to shoot down civilian aircraft at major European airports, terrorist attempts against national leaders, information leaks through photographing critical national facilities, and violations of personal privacy.

This issue cannot be overlooked in the domestic drone market environment either, and measures to ensure public safety and privacy against unauthorized and illegal drones are essential. In Korea, responses to unspecified drone attacks on major national and private facilities are weak, and protection and security of power infrastructure such as transmission, distribution, power generation, nuclear power, and military facilities are urgently needed.

SkyLock's anti-drone solution is optimized to counter these threats from unauthorized or illegal drones by detecting, analyzing, and tracking drones in real time through radar, radio detectors, thermal imaging, and infrared cameras, visualizing detailed information for administrators. In particular, the solution can neutralize or disable drones depending on the protected facility or institution, such as military bases, critical national facilities, and private facilities.

A Smack official stated, “We are pursuing business diversification to strengthen corporate competitiveness, and as the domestic anti-drone solution market gradually expands, it will positively reflect on the company’s future sales growth. Through collaboration with SkyLock, which possesses world-class anti-drone technology, we plan to target the expanding anti-drone market and continuously seek ways to create synergy.”
