Estonian defense technology company DefSecIntel Solutions joined an international initiative focused on strengthening ultra-short-range air defense capabilities in Ukraine
Namely, DefSecIntel, together with the Danish company Weibel Scientific and Ukrainian defense industry partners (Gauss Glide, Drone Space Labs, LLC Proinvest, Vk Systems, EW Spectrum), launched the Air Defence Tech Alliance for Ukraine. This international initiative focuses on strengthening ultra-short-range air defense capabilities using mass production and rapid implementation of technologies in Ukraine.
The alliance was formed in Kiev and was announced today in Brussels as part of the second Ukraine-Europe Defense Industry Forum. At the same time, an official visit of the Estonian Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur took place, accompanied by a delegation of the Estonian defense industry. The event was also attended by representatives of the Ukrainian government and the Estonian Defense Attaché in Ukraine, Colonel Eero Kinnunen.
“Ukraine needs innovative comprehensive solutions and Europe needs experience from the battlefield. Protecting critical infrastructure and countering drones are among the key capabilities that Ukraine needs and is developing,” explained Jaanus Tamm, founder and head of DefSecIntel.
“Together with Ukrainian partners and Weibel Scientific, we are developing and soon producing systems that meet real operational needs and are quickly deployable and scalable. We have found many promising partners in Ukraine,” he added.
Tamm cited Gauss Glide, which specializes in kamikaze drones, and EW Spectrum, which focuses on electronic warfare, as examples. “Both are start-ups with battlefield-tested prototypes and direct user experience. This alliance represents a new model – flexible and international defense cooperation that enables rapid integration and mass production of new technologies,” said Jaanus Tamm.
The collaboration will integrate Danish Weibel Scientific’s radar technology with DefSecIntel’s drone detection and countermeasure system to create a comprehensive solution that can effectively detect, identify and neutralize hostile drones and aircraft.
“It’s not just technology, it’s impact where it’s needed most – on the battlefield. We are honored to support Ukraine by integrating our radar technology into an operational ecosystem that is fast, efficient, and designed for modern warfare,” commented Peter Røpke, CEO of Weibel Scientific.
