Defenture and DroneShield Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Mobile Counter-UAS Capability

DroneShield, a global leader in counter-drone technology solutions, along with Defenture, an innovation-driven company specialising in tactical mobility solutions, just announced a strategic partnership to accelerate joint commercial opportunities for mobile counter-UAS capability. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing ceremony was held at Eurosatory 2026, a global tradeshow for defence and safety that brings together key stakeholders from the international ecosystem. 

The MOU will combine DroneShield’s counter-UAS hardware, software, command-and-control, and operational support capabilities with Defenture’s on-the-move vehicle platform expertise. Together, the companies aim to progress a coordinated market deployment roadmap for an air defence and counter-UAS command-and-control solution suited to modern operational environments.

es intend to jointly define, prioritise, and pursue commercial activities, including coordinated go-to-market initiatives, customer engagement, testing activities, interoperability milestones, and selected joint opportunities. This includes offering DroneShield’s current and next generation counter-UAS systems across Defenture platforms, such as the Mammoth and GRF, as well as the development of layered on-the-move counter-UAS concepts for future customer engagement.

The collaboration reflects growing demand for highly mobile, mission-ready counter-drone systems that can support military and safety operators in increasingly complex threat environments.

Louis Gamarra, Chief Commercial Officer at DroneShield said, “Many military customers are looking for scalable and mobile counter-UAS solutions, that can be deployed quickly and operate effectively in dynamic environments. DroneShield’s new partnership with Defenture brings together complementary strengths to support that requirement and create a pathway for joint opportunities in key markets.”

Roderick Toutenhoofd, board member at Defenture said “By combining Defenture’s mobile platform capability with DroneShield’s proven counter-UAS technologies, we are better placed to support customers seeking agile, layered protection against evolving drone threats. The evolution of modern drone warfare has made clear that traditional platforms now require UAS protection, and partnering with DroneShield allows us to bring that capability to market in a way that is practical, mobile, and operationally relevant.”

As military and safety operators across Europe continue to prioritise counter-UAS capabilities, this MOU provides a pathway for DroneShield and Defenture to pursue joint opportunities that bring together mobility, interoperability, and operational effectiveness in response to evolving drone threats.
