D-Fend Solutions, a leading counter-drone solution provider, has been working with the US Assistant Secretary of Defense Special Operations/Low-Intensity Conflict (ASD SO/LIC) Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) to protect US troops and assure US national security against rogue commercial drones with its leading EnforceAir c-sUAS (Counter small Unmanned Aerial System) platform.
Over the past eighteen months, D-Fend has been working closely with the CTTSO to co-develop D-Fend’s EnforceAir advanced C-sUAS capabilities. During the last six months, the EnforceAir has been successfully deployed by more than twenty U.S DOD, DHS, and DOJ units and agencies against the growing threat of commercial drones.
Among the agencies currently operating D-Fend’s EnforceAir are the U.S. Special Operations units, U.S. Army, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Borders Patrol (CBP), U.S Marshal service, and more.
“EnforceAir continues to demonstrate top preforming C-sUAS capabilities against rogue drones,” said Michael J. Trexler, ASD-SO/LIC CTTSO Tactical Operations Government Program Manager. “D-Fend plays a key role in our ongoing efforts to keep our soldiers and country safe”.
“It is a tremendous honor to be chosen to protect the U.S. forces and most valued critical assets,” says Zohar Halachmi, Chairman & CEO of D-Fend solutions. “We are very proud to be working together with the U.S. CTTSO team, protecting U.S. soldiers, and citizens”.
