About
Fortem Technologies is a defense and security technology company specializing in AI-powered airspace awareness and Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) solutions. The company's product ecosystem — the SkyDome® System — is a modular, end-to-end platform that combines advanced radar, computer vision, autonomous interceptors, and cloud-based management to detect, track, classify, and defeat rogue drones in real time. Key hardware products include the TrueView® R40, R30, and R20 radars offering 360° coverage with onboard AI and GPU processing, the TrueView® C30 Camera System for visual confirmation, the DroneHunter® F700 autonomous interceptor capable of defeating Group-3 threats such as the Iranian-made Shahed-136, and the DroneHangar™ for automated drone deployment. These components are unified through the SkyDome® Manager software platform and the Edge Fusion System for real-time data aggregation and situational awareness. Fortem serves a broad range of critical sectors including commercial airports, national defense agencies, energy infrastructure operators, law enforcement agencies, correctional facilities, and organizers of large public events. The platform is engineered for scalability — from single-site deployments to city-wide and corridor-level airspace management. Its AI capabilities allow for automated threat classification and response, reducing the burden on human operators while improving reaction time and accuracy. Fortem is also advancing Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) solutions for metropolitan airspace management, positioning itself as a long-term infrastructure partner for the drone economy.
Key Features
- TrueView® Radar Suite: 360° AI-powered radar systems (R20, R30, R40) with onboard GPU processing for real-time drone detection, tracking, and classification across diverse environments.
- DroneHunter® F700 Interceptor: Autonomous counter-drone system capable of detecting and physically defeating Group-3 UAS threats, including military-grade drones like the Shahed-136.
- SkyDome® Manager Platform: Centralized command-and-control software that unifies radar, camera, and interceptor data into a single operational interface for comprehensive airspace management.
- Edge Fusion System: Real-time data fusion engine that aggregates inputs from multiple sensors to provide operators with a unified, accurate airspace picture and accelerate threat response.
- DroneHangar™ Automated Deployment: Automated housing and launch system for drone interceptors, enabling rapid, autonomous response to airspace threats without manual operator intervention.
Use Cases
- Protecting airport perimeters from unauthorized drone intrusions that threaten flight safety and operations.
- Military and national defense Counter-UAS operations to neutralize hostile drone threats on the battlefield or near critical assets.
- Securing energy infrastructure such as power plants, pipelines, and substations from drone-based surveillance or attack.
- Providing airspace security for large public events, stadiums, and venues where drone threats pose safety and privacy risks.
- Supporting law enforcement and correctional facilities in preventing drone-facilitated contraband delivery or unauthorized surveillance.
Pros
- Comprehensive End-to-End System: Fortem offers a fully integrated stack — from detection radars and cameras to autonomous interceptors and management software — removing the complexity of multi-vendor integration.
- Proven Against Real-World Threats: The DroneHunter® F700 has demonstrated capability against actual Group-3 military drone threats, providing high credibility for defense and government customers.
- AI-Driven Automation: Onboard AI and GPU processing enable automated threat classification and response, reducing operator workload and minimizing reaction time in critical scenarios.
- Modular and Scalable Architecture: The SkyDome® platform is designed for modular deployment, scaling from single facilities to city-wide or corridor-level airspace protection.
Cons
- Enterprise-Only Pricing: Solutions are priced for government, defense, and large commercial operators, making them inaccessible for smaller organizations or individual operators.
- Specialist Installation Required: Hardware components like radar arrays and interceptors require professional installation, site surveys, and ongoing technical support, increasing total cost of ownership.
- Long Sales and Procurement Cycle: The company notes a 5–7 business day response time just for initial inquiry, reflecting a complex, relationship-driven enterprise sales process not suited for rapid procurement.
