D-Fend Solutions, leader in radio frequency (RF), cyber-based, counter-drone takeover technology, who took home the Gold 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Award for Best Persistent Aerial Monitoring Solution, recently Nominated to Compete in the 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, has announced a new technical integration with Syzygy Integration.
D-Fend EnforceAir™ C-UAS
EnforceAir, D-Fend Solutions’ flagship anti-drone product, features a world premier counter-drone, cyber, radio frequency (RF)-based takeover technology.
The system, in either autonomous or manual mode, detects, locates, and identifies rogue drones in your airspace and then neutralizes the threat by allowing you to take full control over the drone and land it safely in a predefined zone.
Since the system does not rely upon jammers or kinetic technology, EnforceAir avoids collateral damage, interference, disruption, and disturbance.
Continuity prevails as communications, commerce, transportation, and everyday life smoothly proceed.

Syzygy Integration has now integrated D-Fend’s EnforceAir™ C-UAS with Syzygy’s SNAP (Sensor Network Access Point), will strengthen support for the Team Awareness Kit / Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) across the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Justice (DOJ) and first responders in contending with rogue drone activity at sensitive and critical sites and events.
A cost-effective, off-the-shelf government-sponsored solution TAK was developed by the DoD to enable tactical data generation, visualization, and sharing to facilitate communications across multiple users and achieve shared tactical situational awareness.
This new integration will also enable EnforceAir to immediately work with camera systems, radars, and other sensor technologies for fusion and filtering via all the capabilities in SNAP.
SNAP also enables all the sensor data to work across enterprise networks via secure connections, goTenna, Iridium, and mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) simultaneously.
“We are gratified to collaborate with Syzygy Integration,” stated Zohar Halachmi, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of D-Fend Solutions.
“The integration of EnforceAir’s unique and proven cyber takeover counter-drone capabilities with SNAP will lead to greater optimization of cross-functional tactical data flow and communications for various C-UAS scenarios, sectors, and use cases, delivering more robust airspace safety and security in the context of heightened threat levels from hostile and unsafe UAS activity.”
“This integration is timed perfectly given the clearly increased threat from unauthorized UAS activity, and the requisite need for enhanced situational awareness and defensive coordination,” added Wesley Mitchell, the Founder and President of Syzygy Integration.
“Through this strong collaboration, we are taking more impactful steps towards protecting airspace with greater alignment and coordination across multiple operator users and stakeholders.”
“We are proud to deliver enterprise situational awareness to the extreme tactical edge through our goTenna mobile mesh network solution in collaboration with D-Fend Solutions and Syzygy Integration,” said Ari Schuler, CEO of goTenna.
D-Fend Solutions is a leading counter-drone takeover technology provider, enabling full control, safety, and continuity during rogue drone incidents across complex and sensitive environments, to overcome both current and emerging drone threats.
With hundreds of deployments worldwide, EnforceAir focuses on the most dangerous drone threats in the military, public safety, airport, prison, major event and critical infrastructure environments.
D-Fend Solutions’ technology has been chosen as best-in-class and is in deployment at high-tier U.S. government agencies, which include the U.S. military, federal law enforcement, and homeland security bodies, as well as major international airports globally.
EnforceAir autonomously executes RF, cyber-takeovers of rogue drones for a safe landing and outcome, ensuring the smooth flow of communications, commerce, transportation, and everyday life.
