D-Fend Solutions raises $31M for cyber counter-drone technology
D-Fend Solutions raised $31 million in an investment round led by Israel Growth Partners to expand its RF-cyber C-UAS business.

Evidence notes
- Israel Growth Partners led the initial closing, with existing investor Vertex Ventures and new investor Vertex Growth participating.
- D-Fend described the transaction as the initial closing of a new investment round, so no undisclosed later close is included in the stored amount.
- The company planned to use the capital to extend its RF-cyber counter-drone technology and expand across geographies, sectors and use cases.
Company context
D-Fend Solutions develops RF-cyber counter-drone systems that detect, identify and take control of rogue aircraft for a managed landing. Its non-kinetic technology is deployed in standalone and integrated configurations across military, law-enforcement, airport, border and critical-infrastructure environments. In June 2026, Motorola Solutions announced an agreement to acquire the Israeli company, subject to completion conditions.
