Outputs: evaluation report and integration notes (scope as agreed).
02
Paid pilot
Defined objectives, test window, and success criteria.
Optional partner hardware involvement if needed.
Outputs: pilot results and recommendations for next phase.
03
Productization and integration
Hardening, packaging, and system-level integration.
Integration with partners, primes, and program offices as appropriate.
FAQ
Do you sell hardware?
No. SkyMesa is software-first. We integrate with existing RF front ends and partner hardware as needed.
Is this a single platform solution or multi-sensor?
We support both. The right approach depends on mission constraints, geometry, and what sensors you already have.
What does an evaluation look like?
Typically an evaluation starts with representative RF data or a live feed, a short integration plan, and a time-boxed pilot objective.
What environments do you support?
We start with unclassified evaluation workflows and scale integration as requirements mature.
How do you integrate with C2?
We focus on clean interfaces and predictable outputs so your team can route cues into existing operator workflows.
Can you work with primes and integrators?
Yes. SkyMesa is designed to slot into larger systems and partner architectures.
