Fortem Technologies is a U.S.-based aerospace and defense technology company focused on airspace awareness, security, and counter-drone solutions. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Utah, the company develops integrated systems that combine radar, artificial intelligence, and autonomous drones to detect, track, and mitigate aerial threats. Its technologies are designed for defense, critical infrastructure, airports, and public venues, where the rise of unmanned aerial systems has created new operational risks.
The company’s core offering is an end-to-end airspace security architecture built around three primary technologies: TrueView radar, SkyDome software, and the DroneHunter interceptor system. TrueView radar provides continuous detection and tracking of airborne objects, generating a real-time 3D model of the surrounding airspace. This data feeds into SkyDome, a software platform that applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to classify threats, generate alerts, and support decision-making. DroneHunter, an autonomous counter-drone platform, is designed to intercept and safely capture unauthorized drones using a net-based system, reducing the risk of collateral damage.
These technologies are designed to operate as a unified system, enabling persistent monitoring and response without reliance on traditional RF-based detection alone. The architecture allows detection of both cooperative and non-cooperative drones, including RF-silent threats, while supporting beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations - an increasingly important requirement for modern airspace management.
Fortem’s solutions have been deployed across a range of real-world applications, including defense operations, airport security, energy infrastructure protection, and large public events. The company has also been selected to provide counter-drone protection for major international events such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup, reflecting growing demand for scalable airspace security systems.
In addition to its product ecosystem, Fortem Technologies has established partnerships with major aerospace and technology organizations. The company has collaborated with firms such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise for integrated solutions and is backed by strategic investors including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Toshiba, and Mubadala Investment Company. These partnerships provide both technical integration opportunities and access to global defense and infrastructure markets.
Fortem is a privately held, venture-backed company that has raised significant funding to scale its technology and production capabilities. The company has secured over $69 million in funding across multiple rounds, including a $17.8 million investment led by industry-focused investors such as Lockheed Martin Ventures and Hanwha Aerospace. This funding has supported product development, manufacturing expansion, and global deployment of its airspace security systems.
The company’s long-term vision centers on enabling safe and autonomous airspace operations in an increasingly drone-populated environment. By combining distributed radar, edge-based AI, and autonomous interception technologies, Fortem aims to create a persistent, scalable airspace awareness infrastructure capable of supporting both defense applications and emerging sectors such as urban air mobility.
