Skylark’s ARIES System Exposes RF-Silent ‘Dark Drones’ in Field Demo

At a recent multi-agency exercise at Camp Atterbury, Skylark Labs showcased a leap forward in counter-drone tech, successfully spotting and identifying elusive radio-silent “dark drones.”

The company’s Aerial Reconnaissance and Elimination System (ARIES) was able to detect small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) that emit no radio frequency or electronic signatures, which are common in conflict zones like Ukraine.

Put through its paces alongside commercial and military-grade detection gear, the system consistently identified multiple “dark drones” in real time, including models and configurations never seen before.
