“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,” says the company statement. “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”.
