Lockheed Martin today announced a USD25 million investment in Fortem Technologies, which represents the initial tranche of Fortem’s Series B fundraising round/ This will enable Fortem to accelerate production at scale and enhance deployment within Lockheed Martin’s Sanctum counter-UAS ecosystem, according to a company news release.
“Building on an established relationship, the investment advances a jointly developed, integrated approach to counter-UAS that is moving into broader operational deployment,” said Fortem.
“The partnership accelerates the co-development of next generation AI, edge computing, and high-resolution radar capabilities. By investing in Fortem, Lockheed Martin safeguards a critical component of the national security industrial base, creates high skill jobs, and positions the company at the forefront of the global UAS countermeasure market, projected to exceed USD12 billion by 2030,” said Fortem. “The investment will enable Fortem to at least double manufacturing capacity and create new jobs at its production facility in Lindon, Utah.”
Fortem’s AI-powered SkyDome® Family of Systems combines TrueView™ sensors, command-and-control software, and autonomous DroneHunter® interceptors to defend military, government, and commercial operations worldwide from hostile or unauthorized drones.
