SkeyDrone enables airports and air navigation service providers to manage and protect their lower airspace with confidence.
By combining cutting-edge technologies for drone detection, flight authorisation, and situational awareness, we help organisations turn complexity into control. Our mission is to make low-level airspace safer, smarter, and more connected; from flight authorisation to real-time drone detection, from operational oversight to intelligent decision-making.
As a joint venture between the Belgian ANSP skeyes and Brussels Airport Company, SkeyDrone is firmly embedded in the aviation ecosystem and based at the heart of one of the world’s most complex airspaces.
In close collaboration with airport operations teams and air traffic control, we developed RunwaySafe, an advanced drone threat assessment solution, purpose-built for airport environments. It introduces a new level of intelligence to drone incident management.
Unlike traditional drone detection systems that generate alerts for every drone entering controlled airspace, RunwaySafe assesses each event in real time and highlights only those drone flights that pose a genuine and immediate risk to airspace safety or airport security. The result: fewer false alarms, clearer decision making, and faster recovery after drone incidents.
Key capabilities include:
- 3D Airport Threat Zones aligned with runways, approach paths and critical operational areas
- Dynamic Runway Configuration reflecting real-time airport operations
- Advanced Threat Classification to reduce false alarms and unnecessary escalations
- ATM and UTM Integration for unified awareness across crewed and uncrewed traffic
- Multi-Sensor Integration combining RF, radar, camera and acoustic detection systems
- Analytics and Forensics supporting post-incident analysis and compliance reporting
RunwaySafe was built in line with EASA frameworks and aligned with ICAO, ACI and IATA guidance for global aviation standards.
By transforming raw detection data into actionable operational insight, RunwaySafe helps airports minimise unnecessary closures, protect passengers and assets, and restore operations with confidence after drone incidents.
