Counter-Drone defence companies in Germany

Builds AI software and systems for autonomous drone teaming, counter-UAS and ISR across land, air and sea domains.

Builds AI-powered autonomous interceptor drones for counter-UAS operations, designed to detect, track and neutralise drone threats at scale for European armed forces.

TYTAN Interceptor METIS

A high-speed expendable interceptor drone targeting NATO Class II UAV threats. Reaching 350 km/h with a 25 km range and 5,000 m altitude ceiling, METIS uses onboard AI and computer vision to autonomously detect, track and neutralise hostile drones via direct kinetic hit. The system is containerised for mobile or vehicle-mounted deployment and is designed for mass-production at low cost per engagement.

Builds ultra-fast laser beam steering systems for counter-drone defence and high-speed industrial laser manufacturing, developed as a spin-off from Laser Zentrum Hannover.

Builds counter-drone systems that detect, track and neutralise unauthorised UAVs for military, government and critical infrastructure operators across 35+ countries.

Builds RF spectrum analysers and the AARTOS counter-drone detection and defence system, used by militaries and critical infrastructure operators worldwide.

Builds airborne air-to-air counter-UAS systems that detect, track and intercept hostile drones using networked airborne sensors and interceptors.

Sentinel

Sentinel is an airborne counter-UAS platform that detects, tracks and intercepts hostile drones before they reach their target. It coordinates multiple airborne assets — Sentry sensor platforms, Sparrowhawk interceptors, and the Sentinel OS operating system — through a single unified software layer. Real-time sensor fusion from active and passive sensors enables threat detection and classification at range, with edge processing to minimise response latency. The architecture is modular and can be deployed as a complete capability or integrated with existing radar, C2 and ground-based air-defence systems.

Develops the ARGOS APS passive counter-drone system using AI-assisted acoustic and optical sensor fusion instead of radar to avoid electronic detection. Designed by soldiers for soldiers with a target price under EUR 100,000 per unit for scalable frontline deployment.

Counter-drone startup developing the DroneHammer, a laser-guided interceptor missile that neutralises FPV drones at up to 2,000 metres for around EUR 2,500 per shot. Uses CO2-based fragmentation instead of explosives. Pre-series production planned for Q4 2026.

Twentyfour Industries designs, manufactures and deploys European drone systems at scale for military and electronic-warfare environments.

Develops digital wideband RF jammers and counter-drone systems manufactured in Germany. The modular XWJ2 platform covers vehicle, portable and stationary jamming across 800+ security projects in 90+ countries since 2003.

Autonomous drone systems for explosive ordnance disposal and counter-IED operations. PEREGRINE drone deploys LANCE disruptors from airborne or landed positions with AI-assisted target acquisition. Delivering to Ukrainian forces.
