Pleasant Grove, Utah, May 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Fortem Technologies, a leader in airspace security and defense for detecting and defeating dangerous drones, announced today that the Fortem SkyDome® System, including TrueView® radar, will be used as part of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The program will focus on Air Domain Awareness (ADA), the capability to detect, track, and identify aerial-based threats, including unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).
Testing will be conducted in three different states to represent the different environments of the northern U.S. border. The purpose of the ADA program is to safely explore systems, processes, and procedures in varying live operational environments and to provide technical information to the DHS, FAA, and other Federal organizations to further aid in developing requirements for future programs.

Pleasant Grove, UT - December 16, 2020 - Fortem Technologies, the leader in airspace security and defense for detecting and defeating dangerous drones, announced today the availability of its custom DroneHangar™, a high-tech hub that houses the Fortem DroneHunter® and dramatically improves its performance. Eliminating the need for manual delivery, setup, and launch by personnel that is required of most counter-drone mitigation solutions, such as hand-held jamming and net guns, DroneHangar is a force multiplier that makes engagement and mitigation of threatening drones, at a safe distance, possible. Drone Hangar is tightly integrated with SkyDome Manager software, enabling the expeditious launch of DroneHunter in under six seconds. This autonomous, rapid deployment also reduces the need for operators or technicians to manually monitor and manage the DroneHunter before or after a sortie is completed.
