EnforceAir
RF cyber-takeover counter-drone system that seizes control of rogue UAVs and lands them safely — no jamming, no kinetic action.
EnforceAir is D-Fend Solutions' foundational counter-UAS platform, built around radio-frequency (RF) cyber-takeover as its primary mitigation mechanism. Rather than jamming or physically intercepting a drone, the system communicates directly with the target UAV using its own protocol, overrides the pilot's command link, and executes a controlled flight to a pre-designated safe landing zone. The outcome is a grounded drone, intact, available for evidence collection — a qualitatively different result from kinetic or jamming-based alternatives.
The system covers the complete incident lifecycle in a single platform: RF-based passive detection and long-distance alerting; real-time three-point location tracking (drone body, pilot remote, take-off position) without requiring line-of-sight; identification of make, model, serial number, and communication attributes including remote ID; and surgical takeover or, where takeover is unavailable, a fend-off that triggers the drone's own fail-safe behaviour. An optional smart RF-effector jamming module is available for area-coverage scenarios where individual takeover is not possible.
EnforceAir is available in a base cyber-only configuration or as EnforceAir PLUS — the multilayer variant that fuses RF cyber-takeover with radar and advanced drone identification in a single orchestrated platform. The cyber layer is always prioritised; complementary sensors expand coverage and reduce false positives without degrading the takeover-first logic.
For GCC airport security teams and critical-infrastructure operators, the no-jamming architecture is significant: it avoids GPS denial, avoids disruption to ATC radio or aircraft navigation systems, and avoids the legal liabilities attached to wideband jamming in civil airspace — a constraint that applies equally at Dubai International, Doha Hamad, and every major regional hub.
