SkeyDrone Launches New Website Focused on Dedicated Airspace Solutions

24 June 2026 at 15:52

Brussels, 24 June 2026 β€” SkeyDrone is proud to announce the launch of its newly redesigned website, reflecting a clear evolution in how we support organisations operating in increasingly complex lower airspace environments.

As part of this evolution, we are also introducing our new tagline: β€œYour eyes in the skies.” This replaces our previous positioning and better captures SkeyDrone’s role as a real-time intelligence layer, providing visibility, clarity, and actionable insight wherever drone activity matters most.

As drone activity continues to grow across industries, so does the need for tailored, operationally relevant solutions. Our updated website now centres around six dedicated verticals, each designed to address specific real-world challenges:

RunwaySafe

Purpose-built for airports and ANSPs, RunwaySafe enables safe and efficient drone incident management without disrupting operations. It transforms detection data into actionable insight, supporting faster and more informed decision-making in controlled airspace.

SiteSecure

Designed for critical infrastructure and sensitive sites, SiteSecure provides continuous drone monitoring and threat assessment. It enhances situational awareness and strengthens perimeter security against unauthorised drone activity, while supporting legitimate drone operations.

EventWatch

Developed for large-scale events and public gatherings such as festivals, EventWatch delivers real-time drone oversight to ensure safety in dynamic and crowded environments. It empowers security teams and local authorities with clear visibility and coordinated response capabilities.

PortGuard

Designed for ports and maritime environments, PortGuard offers real-time situational awareness. ItΒ helpsΒ portΒ authoritiesΒ to assessΒ droneΒ risk with clarity, while enabling legitimate drone operations to continue safely.

AirDefend

Focused on defence and high-security contexts, AirDefend is developed to support military and governmental stakeholders with enhanced drone situational awareness and threat evaluation capabilities in complex and contested airspace.

JustFly

Created for drone operators conducting BVLOS flights, JustFly supports safe and compliant operations by providing a clear and reliable real-time picture of surrounding air traffic. This enables tactical deconfliction when needed and enhances situational awareness throughout the flight.

Stijn De Vleeschhouwer, Managing Director at SkeyDrone comments: β€œThis new structure reflects SkeyDrone’s commitment to moving beyond detection alone. By combining data from multiple sources into a unified intelligence layer, we provide actionable insights tailored to each operational context. The website update marks an important step in making our solutions clearer, more accessible, and aligned with the needs of our customers across aviation, infrastructure, public safety, and beyond.”

Discover the new SkeyDrone experience and explore how each solution supports safer, smarter skies, with SkeyDrone as your eyes in the skies.

About SkeyDrone

SkeyDrone helps airports, seaports, and critical infrastructure operators take full control of their airspace, while supporting safe, legitimate drone operations at the same time. In seconds, we turn raw sensor data into clear threat assessments. By combining drone detection, flight authorisation, and situational awareness in one platform suited for dual use, we show what is flying, what is approved, and what needs action. The result: fewer false alarms, fewer unnecessary shutdowns, and safe, uninterrupted operations where they matter.

Belgium Expands C-UAS Use

18 June 2026 at 12:04

On 12 June 2026, the Belgian Council of Ministers approved a draft law proposed by Minister Vanessa Matz aimed at regulating the use of anti‑drone jamming technology. The proposal addresses a fundamental gap in current legislation: while drone detection capabilities have advanced rapidly, the legal ability to intervene remains tightly restricted.

Traditionally, the use of signal‑jamming devices, which disrupt the communication between a drone and its operator, has been strictly prohibited under telecommunications law.
Until now, only police and defence (including NATO and SHAPE) were allowed to use such tools under exceptional circumstances. The new proposal changes that.

What Will Change?

1. Expanded Access to C‑UAS Mitigation Capabilities

The most significant shift is the extension of jamming rights beyond state security actors. Under the proposed law, operators of critical infrastructure would also be allowed to deploy anti‑drone technologies. This includes:

  • Nuclear facilities
  • Prisons
  • Seveso sites (industrial sites handling hazardous substances)
  • EU institutions and other sensitive locations

This is a major policy evolution: for the first time, non‑government operators responsible for critical infrastructure may gain the legal right to actively neutralise drone threats.

2. Strict Governance and Safeguards

The Belgian government is clearly aware of the risks associated with jamming technologies. The proposal therefore introduces a strict regulatory framework, including:

  • Mandatory authorisation from the Belgian telecom regulator (BIPT)
  • A case‑by‑case risk assessment before each use
  • A mandatory reporting obligation within two hours of deployment

These safeguards are essential, because jammers can disrupt not only drones but also emergency communication systems, medical equipment and aviation navigation services. The goal is to strike a balance between security needs, and the integrity of critical communications infrastructure.

What This Means for Critical Infrastructure Protection

Perhaps the most important takeaway is the fact that drone threats are now officially recognised as a critical infrastructure risk. This aligns directly with broader regulatory trends such as NIS2 and CER (Critical Entities Resilience Directive).

In that context, this proposal strengthens the toolbox available to infrastructure operators and reinforces the expectation that they must actively manage drone risks.
