Fortem Technologies Announces Strategic Partnership with MBDA

The partnership will integrate Fortem’s autonomous counter-drone systems into the air defence systems used by MBDA’s defence and government customers across Europe and other global markets.

The agreement builds on a technical partnership that began in 2024, when Fortem’s DroneHunter® autonomous interceptor was integrated into MBDA’s Sky Warden® counter-drone system.

Under the expanded partnership, MBDA will offer DroneHunter interceptors that can be added to existing air defence networks instead of being used as a separate system. Sales will depend on the required export approvals.

Fortem and MBDA will also jointly offer FireThorn®, an autonomous interceptor developed by both companies. It is designed to counter one-way attack drones and other hostile uncrewed aircraft, including Shahed/Geran and Orlan drones.

FireThorn combines Fortem’s high-speed, radar-guided aircraft with an MBDA warhead approved for NATO use to destroy hostile drones on impact.
