Selected news, content, incidents, and information about C-UAS, and the counter-drone world, from a D-Fend perspective, based on our vision of enabling a flourishing and secure drone-powered society by safely defending against rogue drone threats.
Drone industry thought leader Dawn Zoldi interviews D-Fend Solutions on drone incidents across sectors, defines the EnforceAir counter-drone system, and gives a compelling use case account of how the system was used to protect a papal visit and mass event, and fend off a rogue drone.
EnforceAir, D-Fend Solutions’ flagship product, received a recommendation by the US Department of Defense’s (DoD) Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office (JCO), as a subcomponent integrated within SAIC’s Valkyrie C2 system.
A formal evaluation event held by the DoD Joint C-sUAS Office recognized EnforceAir for its RF detection and mitigation, impressive effectors, and ability to force-land specific drones.

Philip Butterworth-Hayes, Editor of Unmanned Airspace, puts to the test a new type of mitigation system – cyber takeover. The potential of using cyber-takeover methods rather than current and legacy counter-UAS technology is immense and brings significant benefits to society. In his latest white paper, Philip addresses how cyber takeover works and what are its advantages and limitations.

Tom joined D-Fend almost two years ago. After graduating from the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University, Tom spent many years working at a business whose focus was defense contracting, primarily in Central and Latin America. He kept pushing his career forward, working with a provider of wireless RF mesh solutions and a laser company (focused on the detection and identification of narcotics and explosives), which
eventually drove him to D-Fend Solutions. Tom acts as a bridge between the company’s R&D and Sales teams, delivering in-depth information and data about the technical features of the EnforceAir solution in a way that brings positive impressions and impacts the overall sales process.
“I enjoy being the ‘face’ of the company, traveling and interacting with customers across the globe, as I can further solidify D-Fend’s stance as a leader in the counter-UAS field. During my free time, just as I started 20 years ago, I play ice hockey and soccer, and bring music to society with my piano and guitar skills.”
Tom continues to support D-Fend’s growth and development in the market, while asserting our spot as a world-class leader in the c-UAS market!
