Bluesky mast
Elevating Solutions
Even the most advanced counter-UAS systems are blind to low-flying drone threats without a clear line-of-sight. BlueSky Mast rapidly elevates sensors above terrain for an unobstructed 360o field-of-view.
- UAS / cUAS
- ISR & Comms payloads
- Vehicle-mounted & dismounted
- OTM & ATQH Capable
Drones are the defining threat of our time. The proliferation of small systems & small drones & the threat that they pose both to critical infrastructure & to defense critical assets requires us to move faster in this space.

Why BlueSky Mast
BlueSky Mast provides the world's most advanced multi-purpose mast platforms for C2 / Counter-C2, built to put sensors and comms where the mission needs them.
Higher. Faster. Further.
Tactical Capabilities
Man-Portable
BlueSky Mast systems are designed to be highly portable & utilize a patented cam-lock system for rapid, toolless deployments even in the most austere environments. Elevate sensors above the terrain for early drone detection.
Precision Built for Stability
Sensitive equipment requires precise calibration. BlueSky Mast systems are engineered from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy. Built-in levels, guying kits, and SecureLock technology means BlueSky Masts remain stable in high winds, ensuring sensitive radar and optical sensors maintain the precise calibration required for accurate tracking.
Seamless Payload Integration
BlueSky Mast systems are fully modular with an open architecture design for seamless integration with third party cUAS / UAS, ISR, and comms payloads. We custom-design, rapid prototype, and manufacture the accessories our technology partners need to ensure their systems are in the air when it matters most.
Legacy of Trust
With more than 45,000+ systems successfully fielded, BlueSky Mast has been trusted by US government agencies and top defense primes for over two decades. We're vertically integrated to ensure a secure American supply chain, and we are committed to reshoring defense tech manufacturing to the USA.

BlueSky 350G XL Lift Mast System + MatrixSpace 360 Radar / Fusion 360
Multi-Sensor Low-Airspace Detection Systems Deployed on BlueSky Mast 350G XL Lift System
The MatrixSpace drone detection platform combines AI with radar and other sensors to confirm threats and accelerate action. Get complete situational awareness with military-grade performance.
Built for Front Line Operation Traditional multi-sensor systems typically create more distraction than threat awareness. Fusion 360 simplifies operation, so you can deploy with confidence.
See Threats Others Can’t
Our radar technology uniquely detects small drones in places that high-powered systems miss.
Enterprise Scalability with Resilience Easily expand with additional nodes, sensors, or analytics as your mission grows. Operations stay dependable even if the network goes down.
Layered Defense
See radar, camera and Remote ID sensor data in a single, verified track for each target. Edge intelligence evaluates airspace compliance and multi-sensor input to label intruders as friendly, potential threat, or confirmed threat.
Portability and Speed
Deploy in minutes. Assembles with just 2 operators. Ensure optimal coverage placement and extended operation without logistical headaches.
Multi-Sensor Counter Drone Detection
Only respond when there’s a real problem to solve. Fusion 360 automatically cues the integrated pan-tilt-zoom camera to radar tracks, giving you eyes-on to drones no matter where you are. Visually assess drone threats even at night with built-in infrared optics.

CHAOS Industries AstriaTM Mounted on BlueSky Mast 350G XL Lift System
Long range radar for cUAS. High Precision track. Extended range surveillance. Persistent monitoring.
ASTRIA serves as the long-range anchor of CHAOS Industries' primary radar portfolio, working alongside VANQUISH, their expeditionary short-to-mid-range early warning radar system.
Network Effect Performance
AstriaTM relies on a distributed network of nodes rather than a single massive array, meaning the radar's performance and field of regard increase as more sensor nodes are added. Unlike traditional legacy radars, AstriaTM utilizes Coherent Distributed Networking (CDN™), a software-driven multi-static radar approach that links multiple low-cost sensors into a single, high-fidelity tracking network
Early Drone Detection
Combined with tech from CHAOS's acquisitions, the underlying systems claim the ability to detect and track threats up to 250 kilometers away, sensing potential hazards up to 10 minutes faster than traditional infrastructure.
Extended Range Persistent Monitoring:
AstriaTM is optimized for continuous, extended-range surveillance and tracking of sophisticated aerial threats, including drones, aircraft, and missiles.
