Fortem Technologies has received orders from U.S. allies in Europe and the Middle East for 12 counter-unmanned aircraft systems designed to protect critical defense installations.
Placed during the third quarter of 2025, the orders roughly doubled Fortem’s deliveries from the same period in 2024, reflecting rising global demand for counter-drone technologies amid increased rogue drone activity.
The company’s SkyDome Manager software provides 3D airspace awareness and integrates with Fortem’s TrueView radar and optical systems to detect, track and classify drone threats. It also connects with Fortem’s autonomous DroneHunter interceptor for real-time neutralization.
“Protecting soldiers and critical infrastructure from the growing drone threat is one of the most urgent defense challenges of our time,” said Jon Gruen, CEO of Fortem Technologies. “Receiving multiple orders from U.S. allies in the same quarter underscores the maturity of our solution and the trust we’ve earned with frontline defense partners.”
Several defense leaders have called for more robust counter-UAV systems. Poland’s foreign minister recently warned that fighter jets and Patriot missiles are impractical responses to drone threats, urging a “gap in the ladder of our responses.” Gen. Ingo Gerhartz of NATO likewise argued that the alliance must adopt low-cost sensors and effectors to complement conventional defenses.
