DroneShield and Terma Sign Strategic MOU to Advance Layered Counter-UAS Capabilities

Amsterdam, The Netherlands – 4 May2026 – DroneShield, a global leader in counter-drone technology solutions, along with Terma, a leading defence and aerospace company, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), to establish a strategic collaboration focused on advancing layered counter-UAS capabilities. Both companies bring complementary, mission‑proven counter-UxS technologies to the collaboration, including AI-enabled UAS detection, electronic warfare systems, and command‑and‑control software.
The MOU establishes a structured framework to validate, build interoperability, and operationalise complementary counter‑UAS capabilities, with the objective of coordinated market engagement between DroneShield and Terma. This collaboration also provides a pathway for customers globally, including Denmark, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific, to strengthen existing long-term air defence frameworks as threat environments evolve.
The MOU reflects the growing importance of layered counter-UAS solutions, providing operators the flexibility to select sensing technologies best suited to their specific environment and threat profile. When underpinned by mature, AI-enabled sensor fusion, operators are supported by improved situational awareness and increased accuracy in UxS detection and classification, which are critical to enabling timely and decisive operational responses.

Louis Gamarra, Chief Commercial Officer at DroneShield said the collaboration strengthens the ability of both companies to address evolving air defence and counter-UAS requirements. “Counter-UAS operations increasingly demand interoperable, multi-sensor solutions that can be deployed rapidly and scaled across diverse operational environments. Partnering with Terma allows DroneShield to combine our battle proven counter-UAS and command-and-control capabilities with Terma’s advanced air defence technologies, creating a compelling pathway for customers seeking to enhance layered defence outcomes.”
Steen Trier, Vice President, Global Sales at Terma said the MOU supports customers seeking to strengthen counter-UAS capability within established frameworks. “Terma works closely with defence customers operating in complex and demanding environments. This collaboration with DroneShield enables us to complement existing capabilities with additional counter-UxS solutions, supporting customers as operational requirements continue to evolve.”
As defence and security customers across Europe and the Middle East continue to prioritise counter-UAS capabilities, this MOU provides a pathway for DroneShield and Terma to jointly pursue emerging opportunities and deliver coordinated, deployable solutions aligned with modern operational requirements.
