D-Fend’s field proven technology (d-fendsolutions.com) is trusted by government, public safety and enterprise organizations, with thousands of deployments across more than 30 countries, with annual revenue growth of over 50% over the last three years and expected full year 2026 revenues of $185M.

Securing the airspace against unauthorized drones is a rapidly increasing global necessity, with an evolving regulatory landscape opening greater access to solutions. The Safer Skies Act, enacted as part of the FY 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, marks a significant shift by authorizing trained and certified state and local law enforcement to not only detect and track drones that pose a public safety risk, but also, where permitted, to safely mitigate those threats.

Consumer and commercial drones are increasingly used for malicious activities. D-Fend’s solution supports operational continuity for authorized drones to perform their assigned tasks, by isolating and safely removing rogue drones from the airspace. This helps avoid collateral damage and costly area-wide shutdowns.

“Rogue drones have transformed our skies into a landscape of unpredictable risk, where simple detection is no longer enough,” said Greg Brown, chairman and CEO of Motorola Solutions. “With D-Fend, drone threats are not just identified their communications are overridden and redirected, safely bringing them to the ground, keeping people and communities safe.”

“Joining Motorola Solutions allows us to accelerate our mission of securing the skies,” said Zohar Halachmi, chairman and CEO of D-Fend Solutions. “By leveraging Motorola Solutions’ deep expertise and long-term customer relationships across public safety, federal and enterprise, we can deliver even greater impact to the communities and organizations we serve.”

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to required regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
