D-Fend Solutions

Autonomous counter-drone systems for urban environments

Overview

D-Fend Solutions delivers counter-drone technology that detects, locates, and neutralizes unauthorized drones in urban areas. Its core offering is an autonomous end-to-end system that intercepts a rogue drone’s control and data links, causing it to return to its takeoff point or land safely in a designated zone, while coexisting with existing wireless communications and GPS signals to avoid disrupting infrastructure. The system can also extract forensic data from the drone in flight to support real-time decisions and offline investigations. The company differentiates itself through its emphasis on non-disruptive operation in dense environments, seamless integration with current networks, and an end-to-end capability that includes ongoing maintenance and support. Its goal is to provide a safe, effective, and reliable solution to combat unauthorized drone activity by governments, critical infrastructure operators, and enterprises alike.
