SKYKNIGHT
SKYKNIGHT is an advanced air defence missile system engineered to counter a broad spectrum of asymmetric and conventional aerial threats. Designed to provide rapid-response, inner-layer 360-degree protection, the very short- to short-range missile system is capable of intercepting fighter aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft, UAVs, rockets, artillery shells, mortars (RAM), ballistic bombs, PGMs, cruise missiles, and other stand-off weaponry.
Featuring a compact and highly agile interceptor design, the SKYKNIGHT delivers high-capacity engagement capability, enabling operators to track and neutralise up to 80 simultaneous incoming targets, making it particularly effective against saturation attacks and evolving airborne threat environments.
The SKYKNIGHT Missile Launcher Unit (MLU) houses 60 missiles, provides a rate of fire of up to 20 missiles in quick succession, and can be truck-mounted to support rapid deployment operations.
Extending these capabilities into the maritime domain, the SKYKNIGHT Naval Missile System is a highly adaptable, very short- to short-range naval air defence solution. Engineered to counter conventional aerial threats, C-RAM attacks, and drone swarms, the system can engage up to 20 simultaneous targets while launching up to five missiles per second. With intercept ranges of up to 10 km, the SKYKNIGHT Naval Missile System can operate as a standalone capability or integrate seamlessly with a vessel’s combat management system, delivering scalable and responsive protection for modern naval operations.
