Lithuania tests Ukraine-made SkyFortress system for detecting low-flying drones – media
Lithuania has begun testing the Ukraine-made SkyFortress system, designed to monitor airspace and detect low-flying drones and cruise missiles via acoustic and radio signals, the LRT news portal reports.
Lithuania has begun testing the SkyFortress system, a Ukraine-made technology designed to monitor and detect low-flying drones and cruise missiles, according to the LRT news portal. The Ministry of National Defence (KAM) reported that this AI-powered system emits acoustic and radio signals to identify and track threats in real time.
Lithuania's defense strategy focuses on adapting existing systems rather than building new ones from scratch, allowing them to bolster their air defense capabilities. SkyFortress specifically enhances the monitoring stage of this chain, utilizing AI to detect and track low-flying drones or cruise missiles. The Lithuanian Minister of National Defence, Robertas Kaunas, highlighted that the system processes data collected by sensors, uses libraries of digital acoustic and radio-frequency signatures, and provides personnel training.
Trials in Lithuania will assess the system's effectiveness in detecting and identifying low-flying unmanned aerial vehicles.
