Dedrone by Axon has entered into several new strategic partnerships to advance technology for use in strengthening NATO airspace defence. The first of these is with TYTAN, a Munich-based defence technology company developing interceptor systems for Group 3 drones. Both companies share German roots and a commitment to advancing responsible innovation in defence,
The collaboration combines Dedrone by Axon’s AI-powered sensor fusion and technology with TYTAN’s kinetic interceptors, creating a complete detect, track, identify, and mitigate (DTI-M) capability. This end-to-end solution expands Dedrone by Axon’s coverage from Group 1 through Group 3 threats, delivering the unified airspace picture NATO allies need to act faster and defend smarter, said the company in a press release.
“This alliance allows us to offer our customers a seamless CUAS platform that spans Group 1 through Group 3 threats,” said Aaditya Devarakonda, CEO, Dedrone by Axon. “Together, Dedrone and TYTAN are helping NATO and its partners build the connected network that will define the future of air defence.”
“Together, Dedrone and TYTAN aren’t just responding to emerging threats; we’re helping NATO and its partners build the connected network that will define the future of air defence,” said Balazs Nagy, Co-Founder and CEO of TYTAN. “Our partnership with Axon shows what true pan-NATO innovation looks like, built through collaboration across the US and Europe, proven in combat, and integrated with global allies to protect NATO airspace. This is Europe and NATO’s moment to lead, and TYTAN’s mission is to make that intent real — to turn collective vision into action.”
Through BRAVE1 and collaborations with companies both within Ukraine and in partner nations supporting its defence, Axon has also begun identifying and empowering startups developing the tools needed to protect dairspace, said the company. These innovation hubs and early-stage companies are becoming key partners in Axon’s broader effort to scale battlefield-proven technologies across NATO’s defence ecosystem.
“NATO is at an inflection point. The threats are already here — what’s missing is the speed and scale to counter them,” said Batuhan Yumurtaci, Co-Founder and CTO of TYTAN. “It’s no longer enough to announce new frameworks or strategies for our air defence; we have to build them.”
