DroneShield announces new deals with Defenture, Parsons

DroneShield and Defenture 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. 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. Under the MOU, the parties 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 security operators in increasingly complex threat environments. Louis Gamarra, Chief Commercial Officer of 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.” Parsons and DroneShield highlight open-architecture approach (PHOTO: DroneShield) DroneShield recently highlighted its participation in a recent C-UAS demonstration with Parsons Corporation, showcasing how interoperable technologies can help organizations detect, track, and respond to evolving drone threats. The demonstration brought together advanced sensing, command-and-control, and counter-drone technologies within a common operational environment, highlighting how organizations can leverage best-of-breed capabilities to improve situational awareness and accelerate decision-making during complex security operations. As part of the demonstration, DroneShield provided drone detection, electronic warfare, and mitigation capabilities within Parsons’ DroneArmor™ command-and-control environment. The event highlighted how open architectures enable technologies from multiple providers to work together, giving operators greater flexibility to build solutions tailored to mission requirements. Parsons is a leading disruptive technology provider in the national security and global infrastructure markets, with capabilities across cyber and electronic warfare, space and missile defense, transportation, water and environment, urban development, and critical infrastructure protection. The demonstration underscored the value of industry collaboration in addressing increasingly sophisticated airspace security challenges. The demonstration underscored the value of industry collaboration in addressing increasingly sophisticated airspace security challenges. “Drone threats continue to evolve, and organizations need technologies that work together seamlessly,” said Nate Webb, Director of Strategic Projects at DroneShield. “This demonstration highlighted the value of interoperability and open architectures, allowing customers to combine best-of-breed capabilities into effective counter-drone solutions that can adapt as mission requirements change.” DroneShield’s solutions are designed to integrate with a broad range of command-and-control systems, sensors, and mitigation technologies. This approach enables customers to build layered counter-drone ecosystems that meet operational requirements while maintaining flexibility as technologies and threats continue to evolve.
