German defence technology group Rheinmetall has officially showcased its latest counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) — Skyspotter — at this year's Eurosatory 2026 exhibition. The system is a purpose-built solution designed to safeguard critical infrastructure.
Multi-Sensor Early-Warning Architecture
In its official press release, Rheinmetall stated: "Skyspotter has been developed as a multi-sensor early-warning system. Its primary mission is the early detection of potential aerial threats, their precise identification, and seamless tracking. By intelligently integrating multiple sensor technologies, the system provides security forces with the real-time information needed to respond flexibly to a wide range of threats and make timely decisions around sensitive airspace environments such as airports."
Addressing an Increasingly Complex Drone Threat Landscape
With the proliferation of both commercial and military drones, critical infrastructure including airports, energy facilities, and government installations faces a growing and increasingly sophisticated aerial threat environment. The launch of Skyspotter reflects the European defence industry's heightened attention to these emerging threats and the urgent demand for integrated, multi-layered defence systems.
