AI controlled terminal phase
Advanced artificial intelligence takes over final control after a human operator assigns a target. The system works with virtually any satellite communications platform, including SpaceX’s Starlink, allowing operators to control it from remote locations.
Development of Jetkiller began approximately three months ago. It has been combat tested and is reported to have shot down more than a dozen Shahed jets. SkyFall plans to start mass production in August.
The standard P1-SUN has destroyed over 5,500 Shaheds since its introduction in November 2025. The company’s production capacity allows it to produce up to 50,000 units per month.
Success of the Pentagon competition
SkyFall won the final round of the Pentagon’s drone dominance competition this year along with UK partner Skycutter. The victory led to an order of more than 2,500 drones and propelled the company into the next stage of the competition.
Other Ukrainian manufacturers are also developing similar interceptors. General Cherry is working on a faster version of its Bullet interceptor that will be able to reach speeds of more than 400 kilometers per hour. The British-Ukrainian company Firebolt Engineering has developed the Griffen jet interceptor, which currently accelerates to 350 kilometers per hour.
Inexpensive interceptors for Shahed-type weapons have become a priority for many countries. Europe is seeking to create a “drone wall” to prevent such attacks, and Poland has committed $4.3 billion to its own efforts.
