About

MyDefence is a Danish defence-tech company specializing in counter-drone technology, building detection, tracking and mitigation systems used by military and critical infrastructure customers worldwide.

I joined as a contractor to help move their airspace awareness efforts beyond pure detection - turning signals from phones, radars and acoustic sensors into a single, coherent picture of what is flying, and where.
