Solving Complex Challenges
Skayl started with a simple question: Why is system integration still so hard?
Our team came from aerospace and defense, where we kept running into the same roadblocks - systems couldn’t talk to each other without months (or years) of custom coding, manual interface work, and endless certification loops. Every new connection felt like starting from scratch.
We saw a better way.
So, we set out to change the game - not by reinventing every system, but by rethinking how systems connect. We built Skayl to make integration fast, flexible, and future-ready - especially in environments where no one owns the full system-of-systems. That’s the real world. And that’s where we thrive.
At the heart of our innovation is our Configurable Infrastructure Capability (CinC) - a powerful, standards-based “integration backplane” that enables transport services to be modular, reusable, and delta-certifiable. This capability helps programs rapidly connect systems within a system-of-systems architecture - even when they don’t control every system involved.
In other words: We make integration a feature, not a fight.
Today, we’re helping the DoD, prime contractors, and industry leaders shift from brittle, point-to-point integrations to a modern, modular, MOSA-driven future. We’re a small business with a big mission - to make connectivity smarter, faster, and mission-ready from day one.
Because in today’s battlespace, integration isn’t a phase. It’s a strategy.
