A collection of C-UAS content curated by D-Fend Solutions
Selected news, content, incidents, and information about C-UAS, and the counter-drone world, from a D-Fend perspective, based on our vision of enabling a flourishing and secure drone-powered society by safely defending against rogue drone threats.
Dawn Zoldi calls for counter-drone policy action and technology adoption to confront the growing threat from hostile drones. “This is all possible because new generation technologies exist to support these first responders, critical infrastructure defenders, and the federal government in a manner that doesn’t disrupt the airspace. New technology categories, such as non-jamming, non-kinetic radio frequency cyber takeover counter-UAS systems, pioneered by innovative defense tech companies such as D-Fend Solutions, have emerged to confront rogue drones without disrupting communications or operations or risking collateral damage.”
D-Fend Solutions announced expanded and extended participation in the FAA Airport Unmanned Aircraft Systems Detection and Mitigation Research Program, aimed at achieving safe and efficient airport and National Airspace System operations. Previously selected for participation in the FAA Program at Atlantic City International Airport, the company’s core Counter-UAS system, EnforceAir, underwent testing at a second airport site, Syracuse Hancock International Airport.
D-Fend Solutions and All Secure Group have announced their collaboration to provide the EnforceAir C-UAS solution to state and local law enforcement, sheriff’s departments, and specific sectors such as prisons. The partnership launches following a demonstration of EnforceAir’s capabilities to governmental security organizations at national and Indiana state, county, and local levels, covering “areas, sectors and facilities where All Secure Group has a strong presence.”
The Evolving Drone Threat Demands Counter-UAS Tech that Evolves with It: The Case for a Next Generation, New Technology Category C-UAS
Dawn Zoldi, (Colonel, USAF Ret.) UAS and C-UAS industry speaker, expertly guides readers through the dynamic challenges of evolving drone threats in this latest white paper, providing key insights into diverse threat landscapes, the economic drivers behind proliferation, and groundbreaking new technologies for safe and reliable counter-drone defense against rogue drones.
Airport Counter-UAS: Cyber Detection and Take-Over Mitigation as an Essential Enabler to Business Continuity
Philip Butterworth-Hayes, Editor of Unmanned Airspace, and renowned Consultant on Air Traffic Management and Civil and Military Aviation issues, explores the escalating threat posed by rogue drones at airports and the critical need for robust Counter-UAS for safety, security, and business continuity as well as strategies for airports to adopt to stay ahead of the drone threat and maintain business continuity.
EnforceAir2 Deployment Bundle for Military Given that military operations take place in diverse environments and involve highly varied missions, associated C-UAS must therefore employ adaptable and versatile equipment to support diverse use cases and scenarios across combat operations, reconnaissance, surveillance, and protection of military and personnel installations, and more.
The EnforceAir2 military deployment kit bundle is specifically designed to provide a wide range of configurations to meet the unique requirements of military forces, offering high performance, counter-UAS capabilities along with seamless operational flexibility (SOF). It enables military teams to overcome varied deployment challenges with tactical, vehicle, stationary, and man-portable (backpack) configurations.
Originally a percussionist, dancer, singer and actor, Eitan spent six years in Mayumana, an international performance art group established in 1996. During the Covid pandemic in 2020, he left the performing arts world, and became a security and shooting instructor, using his Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) experience.
Eitan joined D-Fend in April 2022, and has since fully immersed himself in the company’s activities and projects.
“When I joined, I was intrigued by the expanding proliferation of drones, and the wide scope of the company’s approach towards keeping airspace secure, in cities, airports, prisons, borders, and other settings. D-Fend uses a clean, end-to-end approach to ensure continuity.”
Eitan’s interpersonal skills –from his audience-facing background – enables him to support the full sales process, from early stages until completion. He travels and meets D-Fend’s customers and partners around the globe, and conducts smooth, successful counter-drone demonstrations to showcase EnforceAir’s values and benefits.
“Going forward, I expect to grow with the company, the technology, and the ever-evolving drone/C-UAS market, bringing my experience to provide high-quality service.”
Eitan has always loved movement and interactions. He trains in Thai boxing, and enjoys freediving as a casual pastime.
