# D-Fend Solutions’ EnforceAir Selected by the U.S. DIU during “Counter Drone 2”

Ra’anana, Israel, February 4, 2020 – D-Fend Solutions, a leading counter-drone solution provider, announced today that the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) selected the EnforceAir c-UAS system as the core Radio Frequency system for integration into a [Counter Drone system](http://d-fendsolutions.com/).

The DIU supported a number of Department of Defense (DOD) customers in evaluating component technology during Black Dart 2019. From a field of sixteen companies, EnforceAir was selected as a best-in-its-class RF system for follow-on integration and operational assessment. DIU further evaluated EnforceAir’s ability to integrate into a system of systems at a government test facility during a Counter Drone event this past November, with lessons learned informing the Department’s approach to integration of capability.

[EnforceAir c-UAS](http://d-fendsolutions.com/enforceair/) is an advanced autonomous system that automatically and passively detects, locates and identifies rogue drones as well as mitigates risk by taking control over (take over) them and landing them safely at a predefined safe zone, applying a non-jamming & non-kinetic technology which does not require line-of-sight, making it ideal for all complex environment, whether urban or rural.

The EnforceAir was rapidly co-developed with the US Assistant Secretary of Defense Special Operations/Low-Intensity Conflict (ASD SO/LIC) Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) to support DoD and shared with US Law Enforcement Agencies. In 2019, EnforceAir has been successfully trained & deployed by more than twenty U.S DOD, DHS, and DOJ units and agencies, helping to enhance US national security against hostile commercial drones. Among the agencies currently operating D-Fend’s EnforceAir are the U.S. Special Operations Forces, U.S. Army, FBI, U.S. Customs and Borders Patrol.

“EnforceAir has demonstrated top C-sUAS performance, due to D-FEND’s continuous upgrades & spiral development based on direct feedback from small tactical team operators deployed OCONUS & CONUS” said Michael J. Trexler, ASD SOLIC CTTSO Tactical Ops Program Manager. “D-Fend increasingly plays a key role in our ongoing efforts to help keep our soldiers and country safe.”

Counter Drone test and evaluation events are designed to comprehensively assess c-UAS technologies, and to drive forward the DoD’s understanding of the complexity of designing, developing and fielding integrated system of systems for the c-UAS problem set.

“Being selected as the best RF solution by the DOD is a remarkable achievement for D-Fend” said Zohar Halachmi, Chairman & CEO of D-Fend. “We are proud to be a unique and essential part of a mission critical solution that protects U.S. assets, troops and citizens.”

“D-Fend’s EnforceAir continues to demonstrate outstanding capabilities, surpassing all other c-UAS solutions.” said Greg Gudger, President & CEO of ELTA North America, the exclusive marketer of D-Fend Solutions in the U.S. “We are honored to officially represent D-Fend in the US and support the DOD’s efforts.”
