Dedrone

AI-driven counter-drone detection and airspace security, part of Axon

About Dedrone

Dedrone is a counter-drone and airspace security company, now part of Axon, that provides AI and machine learning enabled detection, tracking, identification and mitigation of unauthorised drones for airports, critical infrastructure, utilities, prisons, stadiums, public safety agencies, governments and the military. Headquartered at 45662 Terminal Drive in Sterling, Virginia, with offices in Germany and the United Kingdom, the company says its technology secures more than 926 sites globally and that its AI-driven autonomous command and control platform uses behaviour model filters, neural networks and AI-based imagery trained on more than 18 million images, going beyond simple sensor correlation. In April 2024 Dedrone became the first counter-drone company to receive SAFETY Act Designation from the US Department of Homeland Security, and Frost and Sullivan named it the growth and innovation leader on its 2025 Frost Radar for UAS communication disruptors.
