Recognition will enable the company to receive required coaching, funding and facility access from the USAF in order to further develop and deploy its solutions.

The new drone countermeasure system can be used to effectively identify and classify an approaching unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

“With continued innovation, we’re confident we can meet the challenge of integrating with the platforms of the USAF to provide safety against the emerging threat of hostile UAVs.”

The technology can then selectively apply successive digital countermeasures to induce the UAV to land or return to its home base.

Citadel Defense’s system is the only multilayer, in-depth counter-drone solution selected by judges at AFWERX to receive additional funding and testing support from the USAF.
