Low-cost threat
Commercial and FPV drones can impose disproportionate risk on personnel, vehicles, and critical assets.
Revenant Tactical
SkyMoat®
Sensor-Cued. Human-Operated. Terminal C-UAS.
A simpler last layer built around earlier warning, human judgment, and immediate close-in kinetic defense.
The Threat
The final engagement window can collapse to seconds.
Small UAS can emerge from clutter, terrain, or structures after longer-range defenses have failed to acquire the threat—or after the threat has penetrated the outer layers.
Compressed timeline
At terminal range, detection alone is not enough. The operator needs earlier directional warning and an immediately available weapon.
Terminal gap
SkyMoat focuses only on the close-in layer where a threat is near, committed, and time is limited.
Zone of Peril
Zone of Peril
The Zone of Peril is the terminal 0–75 m layer where a small UAS can still threaten the defended asset after outer sensors and effectors have done their work—or failed to acquire the threat in time.
SkyMoat's role: provide a practical, sensor-cued, human-operated kinetic layer specifically for the Zone of Peril.
The Solution
The SkyMoat MVP.
Nine rectangular 12-gauge shotgun effectors on a manually slewed protective mount, with compact radar and/or acoustic cueing to extend the operator's decision window.
SENSE
Compact radar and/or acoustic sensors monitor local airspace and estimate threat direction.
ALERT
A simple directional warning gives the operator more time to orient and verify.
ENGAGE
The operator identifies the threat, manually slews the shield-mounted array, and authorizes fire.
DEFEAT
Nine synchronized 12-gauge effectors create a dense terminal engagement pattern.
Sensors buy time. The operator retains every engagement decision.
SkyMoat® • Sensor-Cued Human-Operated C-UAS
Nine coordinated 12-gauge shotguns
Each effector is a complete 12-gauge shotgun action and barrel system inside a compact rectangular housing.
FORM FACTOR
The housing changes how the shotgun integrates with the array. It does not change the ammunition class or basic weapon function.
FIRE CONTROL
Coordinated electromechanical control produces a dense pattern without requiring autonomous target selection.
THE EFFECTOR ARRAY
Nine aligned effectors mount to one protective plate and move together under manual operator control.
CORE ARCHITECTURE
High-density kinetic effect with modular integration and mission-appropriate human control.
12-gauge rounds provide the terminal kinetic effect
Economic Asymmetry
Use the right tool for the final layer.
Low-cost threats can force high-cost responses. SkyMoat's core methodology is to restore balance with a practical, lower-cost terminal layer for appropriate authorized missions—rather than routinely spending an expensive outer-layer interceptor on a low-cost close-in threat.
Ready Where You Need It
One shield-mounted MVP. Three deployment contexts.
The same manually operated SkyMoat configuration is shown below in environments that match the intended use case.
01
Vehicle Platforms
Close-in protection for tactical vehicles, convoys, and mobile response assets using familiar shield/turret positions.
02
Fixed Defensive Positions
Perimeter and point defense for authorized federal, border, base, and critical-site protection missions.
03
Maritime Security
Close-in protection for ports, vessels, and coastal security operations where small UAS can emerge at short range.
