# Dedrone Airspace-security company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Sterling, Virginia, acquired by [[Axon Enterprise]] in October 2024 and now operated as Dedrone by Axon. Its defense arm won a track-one position on the August 2026 [[DHS $1.5B Counter-UAS IDIQ Award]]. The acquisition is the interesting part. Axon is the taser and body-camera company — a domestic law-enforcement supplier — and its purchase of a [[Counter-UAS]] business folds drone defense into the police-equipment channel rather than the defense-procurement channel. Axon reported roughly threefold year-over-year Dedrone revenue growth in early 2026 and is anchoring the platform across US 2026 World Cup venues. That is the pattern worth tracking: counter-drone capability entering domestic policing through a vendor departments already buy from, without a separate procurement debate about surveillance of domestic airspace. > Status: stub — expand with the Axon integration, the domestic-surveillance implications, and municipal deployments. ## See Also - [[Axon Enterprise]] - [[Counter-UAS]] - [[DHS $1.5B Counter-UAS IDIQ Award]] - [[Fortem Technologies]]
