Fortem Technologies has expanded its manufacturing capacity by opening a new 51,000-square-foot facility in Lindon, Utah to meet the global demand for its counter-drone systems.
The new facility more than doubles Fortem's previous capacity and allows key manufacturing processes to be brought in-house.
Fortem's counter-drone systems, like DroneHunter®, DroneKiller™, and TrueView™ radar, are increasingly deployed in military and security operations globally.
The facility includes 10,000 square feet of dedicated manufacturing space and on-site flight testing areas.
At full capacity, the facility can produce 600 radar units, 40 DroneHunter® interceptors, over 300 ground-launched air-to-air munitions, and 20 drone hangars per month.
Fortem has completed over 70,000 test flights and 5,500 drone captures in Utah.
The company's radar-guided interceptors, powered by AI, are designed to detect and neutralize fast, low-flying drones evading traditional radar.
Fortem is the only company authorized to deploy drone-on-drone kinetic interceptors in U.S. airspace.
With ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certifications, Fortem is reducing reliance on foreign suppliers and growing its team in Utah.
Fortem Technologies offers TrueView™ radar, SkyDome® software, and non-lethal and lethal drone interceptors to protect critical infrastructure.
The company is backed by investors like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Toshiba.
Fortem's technology has been validated in global defense operations and aims to safeguard both current critical infrastructure and advanced air mobility systems.
The company's products are trusted by military, government, and commercial clients worldwide.
Fortem's team has expanded to over 100 employees in Utah, with the potential to double in size to meet increasing demand.
