Skapion
Skapion is building the world’s first native counter-swarm kinetic defense platform, designed to simultaneously intercept large numbers of low-cost drones at a fraction of the cost of conventional air defense systems. The platform addresses a critical gap in current defenses, which were not designed for the coordinated, communications-independent, high-volume swarm attacks that have become standard in modern conflict. Founded by the architect of Israel’s Iron Dome and David’s Sling programs alongside a team of elite IDF and IAF veterans, Skapion’s system achieves a projected 95% interception rate at approximately $9,500 per kill.
