Motorola Solutions bets on anti-drone tech with $1.5 billion D-Fend deal
Motorola Solutions will buy Israeli counter-drone technology maker D-Fend Solutions for $1.5 billion to tap rising demand from governments and critical infrastructure operators to counter rising security threats.
The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, the telecom equipment firm said in a statement on Monday.
Rising use of drones in conflicts including the U.S-Israeli war on Iran has underscored the growing need for systems that can safely intercept and control drones without disrupting communications or causing damage.
