EnforceAir is D-Fend Solutions? flagship counter-unmanned aerial system (c-UAS) product. It features premier drone radio frequency (RF) takeover technology. The system automatically, in either autonomous or manual mode, detects, locates and identifies rogue drones in the airspace, and then neutralizes the threat by empowering system operators to take full control over drones and land them safely in a predefined zone. Since the system does not rely upon jammers or kinetic technology, EnforceAir avoids collateral damage, interference, disruption and disturbance.

D-Fend Solutions is the leading counter-drone takeover technology provider, enabling full control, safety and continuity during rogue drone incidents across complex and sensitive environments, to overcome both current and emerging drone threats.

With hundreds of deployments worldwide, EnforceAir, the company?s flagship offering, focus on the most dangerous drone threats in military, public safety, airport, prison, major event and critical infrastructure environments. Declared a best-in-class solution by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), EnforceAir is used by dozens of DoD, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice security agencies, as well as by major international airports and law enforcement globally.

EnforceAir autonomously executes RF, cyber-takeovers of rogue drones for a safe landing and outcome, ensuring the smooth flow of communications, commerce, transportation and everyday life.
