What Sensofusion does

Sensofusion (Sensofusion Oy) is a Finnish defense technology company headquartered in Vantaa, Finland, founded in 2016 to build passive counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) solutions for military, law enforcement, and critical infrastructure operators. The company's foundational product, Airfence, is a passive radio frequency (RF) drone detection system covering 70 MHz to 6 GHz that identifies, locates, and tracks drones and their pilots without emitting detectable signals, with detection ranges exceeding 10 km when paired with KELA directional antennas. The product portfolio has expanded into countermeasures (Airfence Military Edition with kinetic interceptors and 800W asymmetric jamming across ISM and GNSS bands), passive optical detection (event-camera perimeter system with sub-pixel precision), and a novel Tactical Drone Factory that produces approximately 50 interceptor drones per day inside a standard 20-foot shipping container. Following the March 2026 acquisition of Finnish aircraft manufacturer Atol Aviation, Sensofusion launched Sensofusion Aerospace in June 2026 to develop the Swift crewed/unmanned surveillance aircraft (based on the Atol Aurora) and the Fennec satellite program, with Fennec-1 scheduled for SpaceX Falcon launch in autumn 2027.

Sensofusion operates a direct enterprise sales model with mandatory pre-qualification, selling to governmental and military customers in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia. Hardware unit economics are high-ASP: Airfence 7 systems at €160,000, Asymmetric Jammers at €40,000, and Tactical Drone Factory units starting at €2,100,000 including global shipping. Over-the-air signature library updates and professional services provide recurring and add-on streams alongside the core hardware business. Key leadership includes Chief Research Officer Mikko Hyppönen, a cybersecurity veteran from F-Secure who joined in 2025 to apply signature-based detection methodologies to drone defense. The company does not transact with organizations facing EU sanctions and was recognized with the Internationalisation Award of the President of the Republic of Finland in November 2025.

Core offering

Sensofusion designs, manufactures, and sells the Airfence passive RF drone detection and counter-UAS system, along with electronic countermeasures, kinetic interceptors, optical and radar extensions, a mobile drone manufacturing container (Tactical Drone Factory), and—through its aviation and aerospace units—surveillance aircraft and a satellite program. Hardware units are sold directly to military, law enforcement, and critical-infrastructure operators on a quote basis, with over-the-air detection-library updates and training/installation services bundled in.

Product overview

Sensofusion is a Finnish defense technology company offering a comprehensive counter-drone and surveillance platform. The core Airfence product line includes Airfence 7 and Airfence Mini sensor units for passive drone detection via radio frequency analysis, with Airfence Military Edition adding kinetic interceptor and jamming countermeasures. The portfolio extends through add-on modules including the KELA Directional Finding Antenna (with satellite detection extension), Optical Perimeter System, Radar Integration, and the Asymmetric Jammer. Sensofusion also offers the Tactical Drone Factory—a mobile manufacturing container producing 50 interceptor drones daily. Following the 2026 acquisition of Atol Aviation, the company launched Sensofusion Aerospace to develop the Swift surveillance aircraft (crewable/unmanned) and Fennec satellite program. The products form an integrated C-UAS ecosystem spanning ground-based detection, airborne surveillance, and space-based intelligence.

Direct peers

• Liteye Systems: US integrator fielding combined RF/radar/EO counter-UAS solutions to US DoD and partners, overlapping with Sensofusion's detect-to-effect integrated C-UAS approach.
• DroneShield: Australia-listed specialist in RF-based counter-UAS detection (RfPatrol, DroneSentry) with active jammers and integrated C2, directly competing with Sensofusion's Airfence among military and government buyers.
• Blighter Surveillance Systems: UK radar specialist whose A800 series and C-UAS offering (often paired with Liteye/Aurora) compete with the radar integration layer of the Sensofusion product line.
• D-Fend Solutions: Israeli counter-drone vendor whose EnforceAir product occupies the same passive RF detection + takeover niche as Airfence, including prison, airport and border security deployments.
• Fortem Technologies: US counter-UAS company combining radar detection with kinetic SkyHunter interceptor drones, closely mirroring Sensofusion's detect-and-effect stack.
• Dedrone: US/Axon-acquired counter-UAS vendor with RF, optical and radar fusion for airspace awareness; competes with Sensofusion across critical infrastructure and government segments.
• Robin Radar Systems: Dutch radar manufacturer with dedicated drone-detection radar (IRIS), a leading European competitor to Sensofusion's RF-plus-radar fusion approach.

Broad incumbents

• Anduril Industries: US defense-tech prime with a broader autonomy, sensor, and counter-drone portfolio (Lattice, Bolt-M, Roadrunner) including C-UAS; competes across the enterprise defense market rather than focused on C-UAS only.
• Thales: Global defense prime with C-UAS offerings (EagleShield, Tactical Shaped Charge) plus sovereign-grade air defense systems that compete at higher procurement tiers than Sensofusion.
• CACI International: Large US defense and intelligence prime offering the SkyTracker and other RF-based counter-UAS capabilities as part of broader national-security procurements.
