$31M Investment Round Highlights D-Fend’s Global Leadership in Counter-Drone Technology Across Industries
With drones becoming more accessible and widely used, concerns about unauthorized drone activity are escalating.
Addressing the Drone Threat
D-Fend Solutions’ technology rises to this challenge, providing a non-disruptive approach to counter-drone operations. Unlike conventional methods that rely on jamming or kinetic action, EnforceAir uses RF cyber-takeover technology to detect, control, and land unauthorized drones safely. This ensures smooth operations and minimizes risks to both attendees and performers.
D-Fend Solutions, a global leader in advanced radio frequency (RF) cyber-based counter-drone technology, recently announced a $31 million funding round led by Israel Growth Partners (IGP), with participation from Vertex Ventures and Vertex Growth.
Expanding Global Impact
This investment emphasizes D-Fend’s growing role in addressing the risks posed by drones while enabling operational safety. As part of the investment round, IGP General Partner Uri Erde has joined D-Fend’s Board of Directors, alongside existing members Yoram Oron of Vertex Ventures and Rami Hadar of Claridge Israel.
“D-Fend Solutions fits the profile and model which we find very attractive—a category creating company that develops and deploys deep and defensible technology to address threats posed by the mass proliferation of beneficial but also potentially dangerous devices and products, in this case drones,” said Uri Erde, General Partner of Israel Growth Partners. “Their innovative approach to counter-drone security, drawing upon a multi-disciplinary approach crossing air defense, electronic warfare and cybersecurity domains, combined with their reputation and proven ability to deliver and meet the needs of militaries, homeland security, and law enforcement agencies, positions them as a market leader in safeguarding sensitive environments against rapidly rising drone threats.”
The funding will enable D-Fend Solutions to enhance its cutting-edge counter drone technology, expand into new markets, and address evolving drone threats with greater agility. The company’s non-kinetic, non-jamming cyber-takeover solution is uniquely positioned to neutralize drones safely and precisely, ensuring minimal disruption in complex environments.
Counter-Drone Market Leadership
“This funding is a testament to the trust our investors have in our vision, technology, growth, brand, and customer base,” said Zohar Halachmi, CEO and Chairman of D-Fend Solutions. “The growing size, scope, and complexity of rogue drone threats demands advanced, precise, and reliable solutions. This investment will enable us to continue innovating and expanding our capabilities, ensuring we remain at the forefront of counter-drone technology, while delivering unparalleled control, safety and, uniquely, operational continuity to our global defense, homeland security, law enforcement, airport, and critical infrastructure customers.”
