Acquisition of Anti-Drone Protection Systems and Associated Support Services

The French Ministry of Defence's Aeronautical Maintenance Directorate (DMAé) procured anti-drone protection systems from TRUSTCOMS, including Infodrone detection beacons and DroneBlocker neutralization systems, in response to operational urgency regarding increased drone threats to French national territory and deployed forces. The Infodrone system detects and locates drones via their Direct Remote Identification (DRI) beacons covering 95% of devices, while DroneBlocker provides continuous electronic jamming of radio and satellite navigation signals to neutralize up to 99% of drones while distinguishing friendly from hostile systems. This urgent procurement was notified on 26 December 2025 as a temporary capability gap-filler pending broader integrated anti-drone architectures at the national and operational theater levels.
