D-Fend Solutions Acquired by Motorola Solutions | Technology M&A Deal

Motorola Solutions has acquired D-Fend Solutions, a cybersecurity business in Illinois, for $1.5 billion. Motorola Solutions acquisitions add counter-drone technology capabilities through D-Fend’s non-kinetic RF cyber-takeover platform that isolates and removes rogue drones from protected airspace. D-Fend Solutions supports government, public safety, and enterprise customers with field-proven deployments across more than 30 countries, reinforcing airspace security and operational continuity in drone mitigation. The strategic acquisition is structured as a platform acquisition by a strategic buyer, valued at $1.5 billion with expected 2026 revenue of $185M, and follows a growing regulatory push for trained and certified state and local law enforcement to detect, track, and mitigate unauthorized drones.
