    be promoted and supported with the use of drones. Today we need systems that can
    be used by the “Good Guys” to counter the “Bad Guys.” This podcast speaks to that
    issue.

    managing corporate risks, building coalitions and enhancing D-Fend Solutions'
    influence and reach in counter-drone innovation.

    governmental agencies, including the Federal Aviation Administration, the White
    House’s National Security Council, the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the
