Tel Aviv, June 3, 2025 — In a significant step forward for tactical intelligence and battlefield communication, Israeli technology leaders Creomagic and RT LTA Systems have officially announced their collaboration to launch SkyCnet—an integrated, real-time aerial surveillance and tactical communication platform designed to empower frontline forces across military, homeland security, and border protection missions.
This cutting-edge solution merges RT’s battle-tested SkyStar™ aerostat systems with Creomagic’s highly secure, mobile ad-hoc network (MANET)-based communication technologies, creating an adaptable surveillance-and-communication network that promises persistent 360° aerial coverage, resilient connectivity, and mission-critical data transfer in even the harshest operational landscapes.
🎯 What is SkyCnet?
SkyCnet is a first-of-its-kind integrated solution that addresses the urgent demand for enhanced situational awareness and secure communications on the battlefield and in civilian mission zones. Built for rapid deployment, SkyCnet can be operational in just 20 minutes with a two-man crew, making it ideal for high-mobility forces operating in remote, contested, or urban environments.
“SkyCnet was developed to precisely meet the critical communication demands of tactical forces,” said Alex Shapochnic, CEO of Creomagic. “It acts as a force multiplier for modern operations by combining Creomagic’s communication excellence with RT’s world-class ISR platforms.”
🛰️ Key Features of the SkyCnet Integrated Surveillance Solution
-
Persistent ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance): RT’s SkyStar™ aerostats offer high-altitude, long-endurance aerial observation for 24/7 visual intelligence, crucial in border surveillance, disaster zones, and special operations.
-
Real-Time Tactical Communications: Creomagic’s resilient radio technology builds a secure communication bubble for frontline units, supporting beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) operations even in electronic warfare (EW) conditions.
-
360° Day/Night Coverage: SkyCnet delivers continuous panoramic surveillance, enhancing decision-making speed and accuracy across a wide range of scenarios—from maritime patrols to urban counterterrorism.
-
Rapid Deployment & Cost Efficiency: With low logistical demands, SkyCnet is deployable in under 20 minutes and requires minimal manpower—ideal for emergency response or fast-moving operations.
-
Secure Data Links: The system ensures seamless transmission of high-volume data, including real-time video feeds and tactical mapping—pivotal for synchronized, multi-unit missions.
🌍 Global Relevance for Modern Threat Environments
The demand for persistent aerial surveillance and secure field communications has skyrocketed amid rising global security threats, especially along Europe’s expanding external borders. From counterterrorism to border patrol, SkyCnet aims to bridge the operational gap between aerial ISR and secure terrestrial communications.
“The integration of our technologies has resulted in a powerful solution that enhances situational awareness, enables rapid response, and ensures connectivity in even the most challenging environments,” said Rami Shmueli, CEO of RT LTA Systems. “This partnership allows us to bring tailored, high-performance solutions to maritime, border, and homeland security forces worldwide.”
🔐 Future Applications of SkyCnet
The SkyCnet solution has far-reaching implications beyond traditional defence use. It can be deployed for:
-
Disaster response and emergency communications
-
Search-and-rescue operations in mountainous or remote regions
-
Event security and law enforcement during high-risk public gatherings
-
Critical infrastructure monitoring in real-time
🧠 Tactical Edge, Real-Time Advantage
In a battlespace where seconds matter, SkyCnet delivers a tactical edge by merging two traditionally siloed capabilities—aerial surveillance and ground-level secure communications—into a single, seamless, and mobile system. The ability to maintain constant ISR feeds and real-time data transfer dramatically enhances operational tempo and mission success rates.
📍 Conclusion
With SkyCnet, Creomagic and RT LTA Systems are not just building a product—they are redefining how modern forces perceive and react to threats. As nations seek smarter, faster, and more resilient solutions to address evolving security challenges, SkyCnet emerges as a vital tool for future-ready defence and homeland protection strategies.
