Israeli Counter-Drone Company to Provide System to FBI and U.S. Military
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - Israel's D-Fend Solutions has been selected by the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit from a field of 16 companies to provide the EnforceAir counter unmanned aerial system (c-UAS) as the core radio-frequency system to be integrated into a U.S. counter-drone system. EnforceAir c-UAS automatically and passively detects, locates and identifies rogue drones, taking control over them and landing them safely at a predefined safe zone, applying a non-jamming and non-kinetic technology that does not require line-of-sight. The company has been working for the past two years with the U.S. Department of Defense to co-develop the system's capabilities. During 2019, EnforceAir was successfully deployed by more than 20 U.S. agencies including U.S. Special Operations Forces, U.S. Army, FBI, Customs and Border Patrol, and the U.S. Marshal Service.
