Skynet Defense Technologies is a US-based defense technology integrator focused on fielding unmanned systems, drones, counter-UAS solutions, sensors, and tactical AI for military, government, and strategic infrastructure customers.
Current posture: Building a vetted portfolio of US and allied OEM systems and preparing for DoD, federal, state, and municipal procurement opportunities.
Skynet Defense Technologies, LLC is a Texas-based defense technology company co-founded by Rob Salsman (Denton, TX) and Danny Garcia (Chula Vista, CA). We operate as a mission-driven integrator and supplier: sourcing vetted unmanned systems and sensors, aligning them with real-world concepts of operation, and supporting end users through training and lifecycle sustainment.
Our goal is simple: help program offices and end users move faster from requirement to deployed capability, without adding noise or risk to the acquisition process.
We source and integrate unmanned systems from trusted US and allied manufacturers, with an emphasis on mission-ready configurations, approved components, and export-compliant options tailored to specific theaters and rulesets.
Multi-spectral payloads, EO/IR, and perimeter surveillance solutions aligned to base defense, critical infrastructure, and border security missions. Our role is to match the right sensor stack to the specific mission profile, not just sell hardware.
Human-in-the-loop analytics and alerting to reduce operator load and shorten the time from detection to decision. We partner with software and AI vendors whose tools can be validated and sustained in real operational environments.
Helping primes, subcontractors, and end users align capabilities with actual program requirements and procurement pathways, including pilot deployments, technical evaluations, and transition planning.
For a detailed breakdown of our drone, counter-UAS, ground robotics, sensor, and communications capabilities, see the full Operational Capabilities page.
Skynet Defense Technologies is positioning to support US DoD components, federal agencies, state and local agencies, and allied partners requiring integrated unmanned and sensing solutions that can be fielded, trained, and sustained quickly.
We work with unmanned systems manufacturers, AI/analytics vendors, and major defense contractors seeking agile partners who understand both the technology stack and the realities of field deployment and sustainment.
Note: Skynet Defense Technologies is actively building OEM and channel relationships and preparing for formal registrations (e.g., SAM, CAGE, and related identifiers). We do not represent that any specific contract awards are in place at this time.
