D-Fend Solutions Showcases EnforceAir2 at JUNO Awards, Underscoring Demand for Non-Disruptive Counter-Drone Tech

New updates have been reported about D-Fend Solutions.

D-Fend Solutions placed its EnforceAir2 counter-drone platform at the center of airspace security for the 55th Annual JUNO Awards in Hamilton, Ontario, demonstrating its RF cyber-driven, non-kinetic approach at a 19,000-attendee event with additional crowds outside. Integrated into the Hamilton Police Emergency Operations Centre as part of a joint RPAS unit, EnforceAir2 delivered a common operational picture, providing real-time detection, location, and identification of unauthorized drones while distinguishing them from permitted aircraft.

By avoiding jamming and other disruptive techniques, D-Fend’s system preserved critical communications and allowed authorized drones and media operations to continue uninterrupted, an increasingly important requirement for public safety agencies overseeing large, high-profile gatherings. The deployment illustrates how EnforceAir2 can slot into existing command-and-control workflows to support coordinated response, operational continuity, and safety in complex environments.

Company leadership framed the JUNO deployment as validation of RF-Cyber as an emerging standard for mass events, where drone threats are rising but interference with networks and official systems is unacceptable. The technology’s non-intrusive profile aligns with security needs at concerts, sporting events, and other major venues, where law enforcement is actively evaluating advanced counter-UAS options.

For D-Fend Solutions, this use case strengthens its positioning with police and government customers in Canada and globally, complementing its existing base of deployments with military, homeland security, and airport operators. As more agencies in Ontario and other jurisdictions assess counter-drone capabilities, D-Fend’s field-proven, AI-enhanced takeover solution could see increased adoption, supporting future revenue opportunities and reinforcing its strategic focus on critical infrastructure and major event protection.

The JUNO Awards operation also underscores the scalability of EnforceAir2 for crowded urban settings with VIP presence, where both security risk and reputational stakes are high. While no financial details were disclosed, the deployment functions as a high-visibility reference case, likely to influence procurement decisions among public safety stakeholders seeking non-disruptive, cyber-based counter-drone solutions.
