D-Fend Solutions Sounds Alarm on Drone Threats and
Counter-Drone Gaps. EnforceAir PLUS streamlines
drone defense by merging RF, radar, and jamming into a single
automated, real-time system that accelerates threat response
from human-paced to machine-speed precision. This is one example
of a C-UAS solutions that can provide a layered blanket of
protection for the nation.
The U.S. Army deployed D-Fend Solutions’ EnforceAir2 counter-drone system during Combined Resolve 25-02 in Germany, demonstrating advanced RF-cyber capabilities to detect, control, and neutralize hostile unmanned aerial threats.
At a hearing on Sept. 16, 2025, Brett Feddersen, Chair of the Security Industry Association (SIA) Drone Security Subcommittee and vice president for strategy and government affairs at D-Fend Solutions, testified before members of Congress to discuss increasing risks from the misuse use of drones and give legislative recommendations for implementing a clear and comprehensive framework for the use of counter-drone technologies and operations across the United States.
During the multinational exercise Combined Resolve 25-02 in Germany, the U.S. Army deployed D-Fend Solutions’ EnforceAir2 counter-UAS system to validate its advanced RF-cyber technology in real-world conditions. EnforceAir2 demonstrated precise, controlled mitigation of hostile drones, safely neutralizing threats without jamming or kinetic interference, enabling uninterrupted operations and enhanced situational awareness on the modern battlefield.

Locate & Track
EnforceAir's advanced RF‑Cyber and radar capabilities deliver comprehensive real-time situational awareness without relying upon line-of-sight.
In the evolving C-UAS landscape, detecting a drone threat is only the first step. D-Fend Solutions’ EnforceAir technology goes further by enabling precise, continuous tracking of drones, their pilots, and take-off positions in real time.
Leveraging passive RF-Cyber capabilities, the system can locate and track drone threats covertly. This provides counter-drone teams with actionable, timely intelligence to respond quickly and decisively.
For additional drone coverage, the radar capabilities integrated within EnforceAir PLUS complement RF-Cyber tracking by offering active radar detection that expands detection range and accuracy beyond cyber, while reducing false alarms. This multilayer detection approach enhances real-time situational awareness, giving C-UAS operators greater confidence that no threat goes undetected.
