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.
Cyber Takeover defined as an effector technology within Non-Kinetic Counter-UAS and declared as essential to combat hostile Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) UAS Systems
D-Fend Solutions was included in the new research report from BAH which highlights emerging dual-use technologies likely to achieve day-one mission impact in defense and intelligence within the next one to three years.
One of Britain’s most famous news publications presents a compelling article about drone dangers at major events, including an interview with D-Fend covering the differences in counter-drone mitigation in military versus civilian environments, shortcomings in traditional C-UAS technologies in sensitive settings, specific challenges in urban venues, a case study of RF-Cyber C-UAS technology deployed at a large outdoor event, and the concept of a layered and escalating defense strategy.
Birmingham Live looks at the threat of potential hostile drone attacks, and included observations from D-Fend on the constraints in bringing counter-drone solutions originally developed for military applications into a crowded civilian environment, the special challenges of overcoming crowded skies and not always having a clear line of sight, and the specialized requirements of C-UAS for major gatherings.
Key players leading disruptive innovation in aerospace and defense GlobalData Patent Analytics / Airport Technology , February 8, 2024
Industry experts meticulously researched and analyzed the latest innovations and emerging technologies in the segment, defined as “systems, devices and methods designed to counter or neutralize target aerial vehicles (drones)…and prevent them from posing a threat.”
Addressing UAS security risks while safeguarding our society was one of the key challenges explored during the SIA GovSummit panel. Counter-drone technologies rooted in military strategies may prove inadequate in sensitive civilian environments, leading to disruptions and potential collateral damage, and C-UAS measures in sensitive environments should aim to achieve fast and accurate detection, safety, and continuity.
A tour through multiple countries in Europe and Asia, focusing
on many types of dangerous drone incidents, including airport
incursions, smuggling, and espionage. The discussion then shifts
to RF-Cyber Takeover C-UAS, including its real-world
applications and future-readiness.
At Sea-Air-Space 2024, SAIC’s Jeremy Davidson showed Ryan Roberson of SAN how SAIC meets the military's urgent need to eliminate drone threats with "proven, tested, and results-driven" technology, highlighting D-Fend Solutions’ EnforceAir cyber takeover.

Before he joined D-Fend Solutions back in February 2020, Martin worked within the aerospace industry for 15 years in senior management roles for Boeing, Thales, and QinetiQ.
Prior to his experience with those companies, Martin served for 25 years as a helicopter pilot with the British Army Air Corps, where he was awarded the Air Force Cross by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for executing a double engine off landing with no tail rotor control.
In his current role with D-Fend Solutions, Martin manages the company’s UK business interests.
“Early on, I was impressed by the company's values and positive energy. I joined an incredible team of people all driving hard to deliver the best customer experience possible.”
“I was also blown away by the technology behind EnforceAir. Our system has never been more relevant than it is today, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be working for a company at the cutting edge of C-UAS.”
When he’s not managing the UK office and helping customers to
contend with drone threats, Martin enjoys mountain biking,
hiking, paddle boarding, and playing padel tennis.
"I'm delighted to be growing the UK team and excited about the future."
