LOCH.io SkyShield is an immediate, field-proven solution that aligns perfectly with the Executive Order’s urgency: restore American airspace sovereignty now, not next year.

It makes defending the skies simple, fast, and effective, with no complex setup or extended training cycle.

Securing National Airspace Sovereignty

EO Context:
The Executive Order demands immediate action to protect U.S. airspace from criminal, terrorist, or hostile drone activity, including defending critical infrastructure, mass gatherings, military bases, and sensitive government sites.

How SkyShield Fits:

SkyShield delivers real-time drone detection, classification, and situational awareness across the RF spectrum, detecting unauthorized drone flights and covert threats from DIY drones. It directly closes the gap on unidentified UAS incursions by providing continuous monitoring and actionable intelligence to neutralize threats rapidly.


Protecting Critical Infrastructure & Mass Gatherings

EO Context:
The order highlights vulnerabilities at critical infrastructure sites and mass gatherings.

How SkyShield Fits:
SkyShield’s modular sensor network and centralized command system can protect multiple sites simultaneously,  ports, airports, utilities, stadiums, or border installations. Operators gain an instant overview of drone activity, enabling infrastructure managers and event organizers to maintain airspace control with minimal training or technical burden.

 

Integration with Sector Risk Management Agencies (SRMAs)

EO Context:
The Executive Order reinforces the role of SRMAs in defending sector-specific infrastructure.

How SkyShield Fits:

SkyShield’s API-first, open architecture integrates easily with existing infrastructure security frameworks and SRMA operations centers. This ensures airspace threat data connects directly to larger risk management and incident response workflows.

 

Rapid Deployment and Ease of Use

What sets SkyShield apart is how quickly it can be operational:

  • Plug-and-Defend: SkyShield sensors are portable, can be fixed or mobile, and auto-calibrate on-site. No lengthy setup or manual tuning is required.

  • Operational Within Minutes: Security teams can establish a secure perimeter within minutes, requiring no specialized training, which is crucial for countering surprise incursions.

  • Simple, Intuitive Interface: The dashboard is designed for ease of use by non-experts. Clear threat maps, automated classification, and real-time alerts ensure airspace defense begins on the same day hardware is deployed.

Flexible Deployment: SkyShield supports both cloud-managed and fully air-gapped configurations, ideal for military or high-security government environments.
