Who We Are

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.

Core Focus Areas

Unmanned Systems Integration

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.

Sensing & ISR Payloads

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.

Applied Tactical AI

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.

Program & Vendor Alignment

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.

Who We Support

Government & Defense End Users

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.

OEMs & Prime Contractors

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.
