Eurosatory 2026: Safran Announces Sale of Skyjacker Anti-Drone System to European Nation
Safran Electronics & Defense has announced a contract with an undisclosed European country to deliver its Skyjacker Advanced counter-drone solution. The modular, scalable system integrates command-and-control capabilities with multiple sensors and GNSS spoofing technology designed to neutralize enemy drone swarms.
Highlights
- Safran Electronics & Defense signed a contract with an undisclosed European nation to deliver the Skyjacker Advanced counter-drone system, announced ahead of Eurosatory 2026.
- Skyjacker Advanced uses a modular, scalable architecture that integrates command-and-control systems with multiple sensors and effectors, enabling seamless connection to existing defence networks.
- The system's GNSS spoofing technology simulates navigation signals to disrupt enemy drone flight trajectories, making it particularly effective against drone swarms.
- Safran has not disclosed the buyer country's identity or the financial value of the contract.
Safran Signs Export Contract for Skyjacker Advanced Counter-Drone System
Safran Electronics & Defense has announced the signing of a contract with a European nation for the delivery of its Skyjacker Advanced counter-drone solution. The announcement was made public on the eve of the Eurosatory 2026 international defence exhibition.
Modular Architecture for Seamless Integration with Existing Defence Networks
According to Safran's press release, Skyjacker Advanced is built around a "modular and scalable architecture that integrates command-and-control systems and offers the ability to connect a wide range of detection and identification sensors as well as effectors."
The company states that its open architecture allows the system to be "seamlessly integrated into existing defence networks and a variety of operational platforms, providing armed forces with flexible and adaptive counter-drone capabilities."
GNSS Spoofing Technology Targets Drone Swarm Threats
One of the system's core technologies is its advanced GNSS spoofing capability. Safran notes that by simulating navigation signals to disrupt the flight trajectories of targeted aircraft, Skyjacker is particularly effective at suppressing and neutralising enemy drone swarms — a growing concern in modern conflict environments.
Strategic Move to Address Surging European Defence Demand
The contract reflects the increasingly urgent demand across Europe for robust counter-drone defence capabilities. As unmanned systems are deployed more widely in modern conflicts, governments are actively seeking proven counter-UAS solutions. Safran's successful entry into this European market signals that the Skyjacker system has earned recognition from allied defence procurement authorities.
Safran has not disclosed the name of the purchasing country or the value of the contract.
