Fortem Technologies

Fortem Technologies

Fortem Technologies is a US counter-UAS company headquartered in Pleasant Grove, Utah, producing radar-based drone detection systems and autonomous net-capturing interceptor drones. Its approach combines detection and physical defeat in a single autonomous system without requiring human operators to control the intercept. Primary customers are airports, sports venues, military installations, and government agencies.

Key Products

TrueView radar: Compact 3D radar designed specifically for detecting small drones in cluttered urban environments, distinguishing UAS from birds, vehicles, and other airspace users.

DroneHunter F700: Autonomous quadcopter that detects, tracks, and physically captures rogue drones using a net-and-tether system, without requiring a human pilot for the intercept.

SkyDome: Integrated command and control software that connects TrueView radars and DroneHunter interceptors into a coordinated airspace security network.

Business and Funding

Private. Total funding raised is approximately $100 million from investors including Boeing HorizonX, Mubadala Investment Company, and other strategic investors. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The company has participated in FAA and DoD counter-UAS trial programs.

Why It Matters

Fortem’s autonomous intercept approach - using a drone to catch a drone without a human pilot in the loop - addresses a core limitation of RF jamming systems, which are restricted or illegal in many civilian environments. Its TrueView radar has been independently validated in FAA airspace trials. The company is one of a small number of counter-UAS vendors with demonstrated capability across both detection and physical defeat in civilian-legal configurations.
