SkyAI Technologies builds AI drone detection systems for airports and secured sites
The Kanpur-based company sells a computer vision system that detects, classifies and tracks unauthorised drones, alongside a contract software business in AI and data engineering.
SkyAI Technologies, a company founded in December 2019 by Sarvagy Shukla and Shefali Bajpai, operates from Kanpur. The startup is based around two primary focuses: custom AI and ML development, and its own line of products. One of these products is an AI drone detection system, a product designed to address the growing issue of unauthorized drone flights over sensitive areas such as airports, industrial sites and public venues.
The drone detection system utilizes computer vision and deep learning analytics to identify, classify and track unauthorized drones in real-time. The system automatically assigns a threat category to detected aircraft and triggers alerts for any unauthorized presence. Applications for the system include airport airspace security, defence and military surveillance, critical infrastructure protection, industrial zone monitoring, public event security, power plants and data centers.
In addition to its drone detection system, SkyAI offers a variety of other AI and technology-based solutions. These include an AI-assisted enterprise resource planning system, chatbots, face recognition with VIP alerts, and a personalized recommendation engine. These products are generally presented as configurable deployments rather than fully finished products.
SkyAI's drone detection technology is patented. Despite being a young company, SkyAI has positioned itself as an innovator in the counter-drone systems space, bringing a combination of custom software development and specialized drone detection technology to the market.
