Respond faster
Turn a detection into a cue fast enough to point other sensors or assets.
- Designed for tip-and-cue workflows
- Designed for event-driven cueing and track updates
Stop chasing ghosts.
Turn your RF receiver into reliable geolocation, even in messy environments.
SkyMesa plugs into existing RF hardware and turns detections into location cues teams can act on quickly, without getting confidently wrong when conditions degrade.
Software only. We don't sell sensors and we don't control platforms or effects. Operator-in-the-loop by default.
Impact
Faster cueing, smaller search areas, and outputs that stay honest when conditions degrade.
Reduce search area
Stop searching 360 degrees and focus the hunt where it matters.
- Shrink scan sectors for confirmation and response
- Fewer false pursuits and wasted sorties
Avoid false confidence
When conditions degrade, confidence backs off instead of getting confidently wrong.
- Fails safe by inflating uncertainty or withholding cues
- Clear reasons recorded when quality drops
Reviewable results
Repeatable outputs that teams can understand, replay, and review.
- Built for evaluation-first pilots and AAR
- Designed to integrate into existing operator workflows
Use cases
Designed for defense and commercial operators that need spectrum-derived awareness.
Counter-UAS cueing
Turn RF activity into location cues that support confirmation and response workflows.
Persistent monitoring and anomaly detection
Understand activity, change, and anomalies over time with reviewable outputs.
Finding interference sources
Support incident response and mitigation by shrinking the search area.
RF-derived ISR cueing
Provide RF cues to support tip-and-cue workflows inside broader sensing systems.
How it fits into your stack
A simple pipeline: your receiver data in, a location cue out.
Inputs
- What your receiver can provide (raw samples or cue records)
- Timing and pose info (as available)
SkyMesa
- Backend software
- Configured for your mission objectives (scope as agreed)
Outputs
- Location cues and tracks with a clear confidence area
- Messages that plug into your existing tools (TAK/CoT as needed)
What you provide
- Representative RF data or a live feed in your environment
- A target integration endpoint (C2, UI, or analytics pipeline)
- A short test plan that defines what success means
Outputs include uncertainty, confidence, and reason codes. When quality thresholds aren’t met, the system fails safe by withholding cues.
How we engage
Start small, prove value, then scale.
01
Quick evaluation
Fast evaluation using your recorded data or a live feed.
- Time-to-first-cue integration support
- Unclassified evaluation report and cue examples
- Integration notes (scope as agreed)
02
Paid pilot
Fixed-scope pilot (typical 8–12 weeks) with defined objectives and success criteria.
- Measured outcomes: time-to-cue, search-area reduction, track continuity, wrong-basin events
- Pilot results and recommended next-phase scope
- Acceptance artifacts: replayable logs and evaluation report
03
Operational integration
Hardening, packaging, and system-level integration.
- Integration package and documentation
- Program-facing artifacts for review and sustainment
- Production licensing structured to match deployment needs
FAQ
Do you sell hardware?
SkyMesa is software-first. For pilots, we can provide a COTS reference kit (or a BOM and configuration) to remove IQ access and timing integration blockers. Production deployments integrate behind your receiver or an integrator baseline.
Do you control the platform or payload?
No. SkyMesa produces cues/tracks with uncertainty, confidence, and reason codes. Your operator workflow or C2 (or an authorized autonomy stack) decides actions.
Is this autonomous?
Operator-in-the-loop by default. Interfaces are designed to cue autonomy stacks when authorized, not replace them.
Is this a single platform solution or multi-sensor?
We support both. The right approach depends on mission constraints, geometry, and what sensors you already have.
Do outputs include uncertainty and traceability?
Yes. Outputs are designed for decision support with uncertainty, confidence, and audit-friendly metadata (including reason codes where applicable).
What happens when signal conditions degrade?
Outputs fail safe. If quality thresholds aren’t met, SkyMesa inflates uncertainty or withholds cues and records why via reason codes.
What does an evaluation look like?
Evaluations start with representative RF data or a live feed, a short integration plan, and a time-boxed objective with clear success criteria.
What environments do you support?
We start with unclassified evaluation workflows and scale integration as requirements mature.
How do you integrate with C2?
We focus on clean interfaces and predictable outputs so your team can route cues into existing operator workflows.
Can you work with primes and integrators?
Yes. SkyMesa is designed to slot into larger systems and partner architectures.
About
SkyMesa Systems builds signal-processing software that delivers trustworthy results in the hardest environments. When clutter, motion, interference, or weak signals push standard pipelines to their breaking point, our systems ensure your outputs remain useful, honest, and reviewable.
We design for deployment in space, air, and ground contexts, adapting to the mission constraints, sensor geometry, and integration boundaries of each environment.
SkyMesa software can be deployed at the edge for low-latency sensing workflows or integrated into larger enterprise, command, and analytics environments.
Our current work spans three connected areas:
RF Geolocation and Emitter Tracking
Delivering uncertainty-aware cues and traceable data for operators.
Radar Detection Performance
Using adaptive signal processing to maximize detection under strict time and resource constraints.
Cross-Domain Sensing Research
Translating aerospace-grade reliability into biomedical imaging, including functional ultrasound (fUS) for microvascular mapping.
The common thread across our work isn't a single sensor modality. It is reliable detection, calibrated confidence, and fail-safe behavior when average-case assumptions break down.
