## Transcript

[ SOUND ] [ MUSIC ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] The proliferation of cheap and easy to fly drones has triggered a rise in the number of incidents Where the safety and security of individuals and facilities has been compromised. Drones have infiltrated the security of heads of state, delivered contraband into prisons, photographed private film sets, and the property of celebrities. Attempts to protect using conventional weapons have failed. Skywall100 has the ability to quickly and easily neutralize a drone treat by physically capturing a drone in a net and controlling its decent to the ground. It combines a compressed gas powered launcher with an intelligent projectile.

This portable system provides a highly mobile and cost effective method of dealing with drone threats. The launcher is equipped with a smart scope to assist in precise targeting. The operator acquires a target while receiving constant feedback from the smart scope. The onboard computer tracks the target's flight path and calculates the required projectile trajectory to intercept a hovering or moving drone. The Smart Scope responds, forcing the operator to adjust their aim. Vertical adjustments account for range, while lateral adjustments allow the operator to accurately lead a moving target. When the smart scope is locked onto the target, a solid tone indicates the system is ready to launch.

[ SOUND ] [ MUSIC ] The only way to completely neutralize a drone, whether it's being flown manually or autonomously is to physically intercept it. [ MUSIC ] The system can be rapidly reloaded, allowing multiple drone threats to be quickly engaged by a single operator. [ SOUND ] Skywall projectile can carry a range of counter- measures. The SP40 includes a parachute which controls the descent of a captured drone. This minimizes the risk of any collateral damage and keeps the drone intact, allowing for forensic investigation and identification of the perpetrator. If the operator misses, the parachute will still deploy and safely return the tethered components for reuse.

Other features could also be included. Such as audible and visual alarms, and tampered proof marking systems. The system is de- energized when not in use. So it is safe to handle and transport. SKYWALL, captures drones. Protects assets. [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
