Our Mission
In today’s high-conflict regions, civilians often face devastating drone and missile strikes with little to no warning. Traditional air-raid systems are expensive, reactive, and difficult to scale across rural villages, refugee camps, or areas where digital infrastructure has collapsed due to jamming or power outages.
At SkyShield, we believe that every community deserves access to life-saving early warning. Drawing inspiration from grassroots robotics innovation, our team is building a low-cost, autonomous early-warning drone network powered by agentic AI.
Using affordable sensors—infrared, RF, and acoustic—SkyShield drones detect suspicious flight activity, from hostile drones to incoming projectiles. Through AI-driven swarm collaboration, our network autonomously analyzes threats, shares intelligence in real-time, and issues localized alerts tailored to the situation: sirens, flashing LEDs, or mesh-based SMS.
Our mission is simple: give civilians back precious seconds that can save lives—even in the world’s most vulnerable and disconnected regions.

FOUNDER
I’m Eshwar Mahadevan, the founder of SkyShieldAI and a student passionate about building technology that makes a real impact. My journey into innovation began with robotics, where I discovered how much I enjoy designing and problem-solving through hands-on engineering. That passion has grown into SkyShieldAI, where I’m working to combine drones and AI to create smarter, safer solutions for the future. I plan to study Mechanical Engineering in college to further develop the skills that will help me push the boundaries of robotics and aerospace technology.
