Counter-drone firm secures government contract

The Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency has awarded a contract to Citadel Defense Company to counter drones increasingly threatening to U.S. forces around the world.

The over $1 million contract is supportive of USSOCOM requirements and represents the company’s sixth government contract for their award-winning mobile system that counters threat drones.

“By working alongside the U.S. Government and hundreds of warfighters, we’ve fielded a capability that works today, at scale, and with minimal field support in the harshest operating environments,” Christopher Williams, Citadel Defense’s chief executive officer, said. “Through a close partnership with users, Citadel Defense delivers a drone protection solution for customers that is constantly improving, constantly incorporating user feedback, and constantly adapting to meet future threats and outpace our adversaries.”

The Titan C-UAS solution is designed to protect group troops, vehicles and permanent structures from threat drones through autonomy, proprietary machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities. The effort creates a force multiplier for Warfighters that enables them to get more done with the same or fewer resources.

“We look forward to building on the relationship that Citadel has developed with the many government customers we currently support,” Williams said. “By providing highly specialized and precise technologies that require no signal expertise or training, we will continue to develop solutions that allow the warfighter or end user to focus on their most important missions without distraction.”
