About the company
Dedrone Defense LLC, doing business as Dedrone Defense Inc., is a subsidiary of Axon Enterprise, Inc. that manufactures and integrates counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) hardware, software, and ancillary services for federal law enforcement, national security, and defense agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open competitive awards. The vendor competes without set-aside designations across a growing footprint of federal customers, with 62% of recent awards as prime (16 of 26 total awards) and 38% as subcontractor (10 of 26), and holds a $1.5 billion DHS multiple-award IDIQ contract as one of 4–6 awardees under the Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems 2026–2031 (C-UAS) program.
Dedrone Defense's capability portfolio is anchored in counter-UAS detection, tracking, and mitigation systems. Recent representative work includes a $5.2 million Transportation Security Administration delivery order (September 2026) for fixed and mobile radio frequency-based sensors and software enabling law enforcement and security agencies to detect, track, classify, and localize unauthorized drones and their operators; a $3.7 million US Marshals Service purchase order (August 2026) for Axon Dedrone C-UAS equipment supporting fugitive apprehension; a $21.5 million Office of the Secretary of Defense Other Transaction Agreement (April 2025) for forward C-UAS command and control capabilities; and a $1.4 million TSA delivery order (September 2026) for procurement and integration of a D-Fend EnforceAir2 counter-UAS mitigation system. The vendor also supplies hardware and software warranty, maintenance, and sensor augmentation services under smaller purchase orders from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Air Force Air Combat Command.
Customer concentration by dollar value is heavily skewed: the DHS Science and Technology Directorate's $1.5 billion IDIQ award (August 2026) represents 98% of the combined potential value across all 26 awards. Backing out that single vehicle, the next-largest customer by potential value is the Office of the Secretary of Defense ($21.5 million), followed by TSA ($6.6 million across two delivery orders under the C-UAS IDIQ), US Marshals Service ($3.7 million), and DEA ($1.1 million across five purchase orders). The top customer by award count is the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security (10 awards, denominated in the source data but not detailed in award descriptions), followed by DEA (5 awards) and TSA (2 awards). Three task orders under the C-UAS 2026–2031 IDIQ generated $6.8 million in combined potential value.
Activity has accelerated materially. The vendor recorded one award in 2022, one in 2023, nine in 2024, six in 2025, and eight in 2026 year-to-date, reflecting deep positioning in the federal C-UAS procurement wave. Five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $7.1 million and represent recompete opportunity. However, the proportion of obligated dollars ($43.8 million) against total potential value ($1.53 billion) sits at 3%, driven primarily by recent award of the large DHS IDIQ ceiling without corresponding task-order volume yet obligated.
In its subcontractor role, Dedrone Defense supplies C-UAS products and engineering services to General Dynamics Information Technology across global security engineering and supply chain services work, with at least ten sub-awards spanning June 2024 through June 2026. The vendor delivers as a named sub on Federal Contract Sub-Awards (contract/grant sub-awards) under GDIT as prime.
Dedrone Defense sits as a named awardee on the Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems 2026–2031 (C-UAS) multiple-award IDIQ issued by DHS Science and Technology Directorate on August 1, 2026, with a $1.5 billion ceiling through July 31, 2031. The IDIQ is one of 4–6 awards under Track 1 (Hardware/Software and Ancillary Services) and enables direct ordering by DHS components including Customs and Border Protection, Coast Guard, Federal Protective Service, Secret Service, and FEMA. The three task orders placed to date total $6.8 million in potential value.
The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures minimal activity: six SCI records (three as prime, three as named subcontractor) across FY2022–FY2025, with zero SCI-reportable invoiced revenue recorded as prime and only 0.3 to 0.6 FTEs estimated in any fiscal year. This undercount reflects the vendor's focus on goods procurement (C-UAS hardware, software licenses, and equipment integration) rather than labor-intensive federal services contracts above the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold. SCI is a partial and incomplete view of Dedrone Defense's federal footprint.
