12 counter-drone companies hiring in Europe

Robin Radar builds radar systems for detecting, classifying and tracking small drones in real time. Its IRIS radar can cue other sensors or countermeasures once a threat has been identified.

CERBAIR works on RF detection and jamming. Its products cover drone-link detection, neutralisation and combined systems for protecting sites against unwanted drones.

Advanced Protection Systems builds integrated counter-drone systems that combine 3D radars, RF analysis, optical cameras, neutralisation and command software.

Marduk builds passive optical systems for detecting, classifying, tracking and targeting aerial threats. Its Shark and Piraya products focus on finding drones without emitting radar signals.

OpenWorks Engineering builds optical tracking and drone-capture systems. Vision Guard detects and identifies aerial threats, while SkyWall physically captures drones with a launched net.

Tytan Technologies builds autonomous interceptor drones for air defence. The company is focused on physically stopping hostile drones after they have been detected.

Nordic Air Defence builds interceptor UAVs in Sweden. Kreuger 100 is the company's first counter-drone product, built on the Kreuger interceptor platform.

Frankenburg Technologies develops air-defence missiles built around lower intercept cost and scalable production. Its counter-drone angle is the economics of stopping cheap drones without firing expensive missiles at every target.

Origin Robotics builds BLAZE, an autonomous counter-drone interceptor, and BEAK, a man-portable ISR drone with bomb-drop capability.

Fiducial builds autonomy software for drone interception. Its work covers computer vision for detection, GNSS-independent navigation and air-to-air terminal guidance.

MARSS builds NiDAR, a command and sensor-fusion system used for counter-drone and other security missions. The system brings sensor data together so operators can detect, classify and respond to threats.

STARK Defence builds software-driven unmanned systems across air, sea and command software. The company has recently expanded into counter-drone work, alongside its autonomy, electronic-warfare and flight-test hiring.
