EnforceAir2: A Production of C-UAS Power and Portability for Premium Performance

D-Fend Solutions is proud to introduce EnforceAir2 – a next generation, counter-drone solution that delivers more power, performance, portability, and range. Building upon the success of its predecessor, EnforceAir, this cutting-edge innovation marks a significant leap forward in the realm of cyber counter-drone technology.

D-Fend’s core solution – EnforceAir – has been deployed in more than 20 countries, detecting, tracking, and mitigating drone threats. The core strength of EnforceAir is in its non-jamming, non-kinetic approach, allowing for seamless integration into a wide range of applications and environments. EnforceAir paved the way for safer and more effective counter-drone capabilities. The ability to mitigate drone threats with precision and surgical accuracy made it a game-changer in the world of drone defense.

EnforceAir2 – Intensely Enhanced from Experience and Feedback

EnforceAir2 emerges from years of intense customer feedback influenced Research & Development. We’ve taken our experience with traditional, commercial off-the-shelf software-defined radio (SDR) hardware and harnessed it to create custom-made SDR hardware tailored specifically for cyber counter-drone applications. This specially made hardware unlocks new possibilities and takes the cyber counter-drone system to new heights. With the purpose-built SDR hardware, EnforceAir2 overcomes the limitations of traditional SDR platforms, with ultrawide band coverage (400MHz – 6000MHz), encompassing current and future drone frequencies. This ensures efficient transmission while minimizing interference, enabling EnforceAir2 to excel across various scenarios, even in RF noisy, urban environments. EnforceAir2 also delivers powerful, real-time processing, with low internal RF noise for extended detection range, while complying with radio regulations.

EnforceAir2 brings increased operational flexibility, making it suitable for a range of missions and scenarios, with easy transitions between deployments. EnforceAir2 brings a more unified, sophisticated, easier to handle, and smaller deployment kit.

There are multiple deployment options available now for EnforceAir2:

1. Tactical: EnforceAir2 is more compact and lightweight with a smaller form factor. The antennas are easily attached directly to the SDR, and the full system fits into two small, light Pelican AIR cases, with a simplified, quick installation process.
2. Vehicle: Available for both military and covert civilian/law enforcement, vehicular deployment offers a mission-critical counter-UAS solution for mobile scenarios. The vertical in-vehicle SDR deployment configuration saves valuable cargo space.
3. Stationary: The original stationary deployment was designed for specific sectors and based on permanent deployments. Certain customers require increased flexibility including medium and long term but not permanent deployments. The ability to redeploy the stationary counter-drone solution important, and that’s where EnforceAir2 comes in. The stationary option of EnforceAir2 enables such missions – lasting days, weeks, or months, as it can be easily deployed and mounted when needed, and just as easily dismounted, disassembled and packed into Pelican cases to be moved to the next location to be reassembled. This flexibility, even for semi-stationary deployments, is highly valuable to users operating in such scenarios.
4. Long-Range Directional: D-Fend’s Long-Range Directional Kit is designed primarily for stationary, long-range coverage deployments, such as protecting airport and border airspaces. It provides an easy deployment pole-installation bracket, to which the directional sensor is secured, designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions.
5. Backpack: EnforceAir2 backpack is a breakthrough configuration, allowing for further covert, on-the-move drone protection. Suitable for soldiers, special operation forces, and other security personnel, the counter-drone system operates fully inside the backpack, without antennas sticking out. Both detection and mitigation functionalities are operational. The option of such a covert counter-drone solution takes counter-drone security to the next level, supporting more use cases and scenarios. The backpack provides optimal balance between portability and performance. The concealed system inside the backpack is suitable for all weather conditions – with no need for fans, no noise, and with hot-swap batteries for extended operating time.

EnforceAir2 Deployment Bundles

EnforceAir2 provides very easy conversion between different deployments, most notably with specialized Deployment Bundles. The bundles empower tactical teams with the ability to swiftly adapt to changing operational situations and maximize their effectiveness in the field, with full flexibility. The bundles use the same core SDR element, while enabling seamless operational flexibility and conversion between deployments, across tactical, vehicular, stationary, and backpack configurations.

EnforceAir2 brings a new era in counter-drone power, portability, and performance. When EnforceAir was originally launched, it was designed to meet the ever-evolving needs of cross-sector organizations and agencies dealing with drone threats. By integrating innovative hardware with sophisticated software, EnforceAir2 now offers an even more holistic and versatile solution that combines precision mitigation, operational flexibility, and adaptability for a safer, drone-enabled future.
