Small drones are cheap, easy to modify and hard to stop reliably. Among the European companies we track, counter-drone work usually comes down to seeing the drone early, stopping it at a sensible cost and giving operators enough context to decide what to do.

Below are 12 companies from the DefenceJobs.org database that are hiring now. For each company, we checked its product focus, hiring locations and hiring areas against public company and careers pages in June 2026.
