DroneShield, a global leader in counter-drone technology solutions, and Terma, a leading defence and aerospace company, have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing a strategic collaboration focused on advancing layered counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) capabilities. Both companies bring complementary, mission-proven counter-UxS technologies to the collaboration, including AI-enabled UAS detection, electronic warfare systems, and command-and-control software.
The MoU establishes a structured framework to validate, build interoperability, and operationalize complementary counter-UAS capabilities with the objective of coordinated market engagement between DroneShield and Terma. This collaboration also provides a pathway for customers globally — including Denmark, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region — to strengthen existing long-term air defence frameworks as threat environments evolve.
The MoU reflects the growing importance of layered counter-UAS solutions, offering operators the flexibility to select sensing technologies best suited to their specific environment and threat profile. When underpinned by mature, AI-enabled sensor fusion, operators benefit from improved situational awareness and increased accuracy in UxS detection and classification — critical factors enabling timely and decisive operational responses.
Louis Gamarra, Chief Commercial Officer at DroneShield, stated:
“Counter-UAS operations increasingly demand interoperable, multi-sensor solutions that can be deployed rapidly and scaled across diverse operational environments. Partnering with Terma allows DroneShield to combine our battle-proven counter-UAS and command-and-control capabilities with Terma’s advanced air defence technologies, creating a compelling pathway for customers seeking to enhance layered defence outcomes.”
Steen Trier, Vice President of Global Sales at Terma, added:
“Terma works closely with defence customers operating in complex and demanding environments. This collaboration with DroneShield enables us to complement existing capabilities with additional counter-UxS solutions, supporting customers as operational requirements continue to evolve.”
As defence and security customers across Europe and the Middle East continue to prioritize counter-UAS capabilities, this MoU provides a pathway for DroneShield and Terma to jointly pursue emerging opportunities and deliver coordinated, deployable solutions aligned with modern operational requirements.
