NATO Seeks to Counter Growing Drone Threats with Innovative Solutions

The US Army recently evaluated industry counter-drone tech and selected four firms for a fast-track acquisition system. The Global Tactical Edge Directorate (G-TEAD) Marketplace is designed to speed up the delivery of operationally ready equipment and software to the Army and allied nations. The Army identified AG3 Labs, Armaments Research Company, MatrixSpace, and Mountain Horse Solutions as winners. The four companies’ products were left behind for soldiers to assess and provide feedback to industry. The selection of these firms may indicate the Army’s growing concern about the threat from unmanned systems and its willingness to invest in innovative counter-drone solutions.
