Skyline Instruments is a spin-off from the University of Virginia’s Far Infrared Receiver and Terahertz Laboratory, specializing in the design and manufacturing of non-traditional radios. We focus on developing instruments for defense, space, and commercial industries, creating a cooperative network of radios to analyze natural and man-made phenomena that would be challenging or impossible to detect with a single sensor.

Who We Are

Skyline Instruments is a team of innovators specializing in end-to-end product development. We oversee every aspect of our technology in-house, from raw material selection to advanced software development. What sets us apart is our expertise across the entire product lifecycle—our engineers are proficient in nonlinear analysis, optimization, electromagnetic simulation, thermal modeling, packaging, and software development, including digital signal processing. This holistic approach allows us to create groundbreaking solutions with exceptional precision and efficiency.

What We Do

At Skyline Instruments, we specialize in providing innovative solutions for the defense, space, and commercial industries:

When We Were Established

Why Skyline?

Traditional radio systems are often designed as broad platforms rather than being optimized for specific applications. At Skyline Instruments, we take a different approach. Instead of treating software-defined radios as general-purpose platforms, we combine best-in-class technologies with our own innovations to optimize performance for specific operational needs.

Coming Soon

We are excited to announce the upcoming launch of our first sensing product in March 2025. Additionally, we are actively competing for government contracts, with expected awards in summer 2025. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to grow and innovate.

Let's Work Together

We are actively seeking business-to-business partnerships to expand our capabilities, grow our company, and fund our facilities and internal product development. We recognize the value of collaboration and are committed to working with industry partners to drive innovation and mutual success. Let’s build something great together!
