DIU Seeks Investors for Counter-Drone Technology
Original: DIU Seeks Investors in Counter-Unmanned Systems Technology
The Defense Innovation Unit is looking for private investors to help advance counter-unmanned systems technology. The initiative aims to speed up development of tools that detect and defeat hostile drones by drawing on commercial capital alongside defense funding. The move reflects growing Pentagon focus on drone threats seen in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the push to scale counter-drone capabilities quickly.
Why now: Rising drone threats in current conflicts have made counter-unmanned systems a priority for defense investment.
