Kaizen Develops Centralized Platform For Unmanned Aerial System Defense
The Pentagon’s Joint Interagency Task Force 401 has awarded a $15 million contract to software startup Kaizen to develop a digital marketplace for unmanned aerial system defense tools. The platform, which went live two weeks ago, allows pre-screened military, law enforcement, and allied buyers to search, compare, and purchase drone defense systems from a centralized online catalogue. The initiative aims to address the growing threat of drones and improve the procurement process for counter-drone technology. This development was first reported by DefenseScoop.
