Managed Counter-UAS Protection for European Critical Infrastructure

CEO at CENDEF

Berlin, Germany

About

CENDEF — Central Defence Command delivers Counter-UAS airspace protection for European critical infrastructure as a managed service, not a system to buy. Energy grids, logistics hubs and industrial sites face a drone threat that is real today, while countering it remains a capital-heavy project most operators cannot run alone.

We own one accountable cycle, end to end:

  • Audit — Based on the site, its airspace exposure and threat profile, we define the actual protection requirement.

  • Consultancy — Based on that requirement, we set the proportionate protection concept and the regulatory pathway for lawful active countermeasures.

  • Defence-ready — Based on the technical options available, we engineer and configure the containerised system to the specific site.

  • Implementation — We deploy on site with minimal disruption and validate the system against the defined threat.

  • Operation — We run it as a managed service, billed monthly, with continuous monitoring and threat-model updates.

The result: drone defence moves from a multi-million capital project to a predictable operating cost, the way fire protection became insurance rather than a private fire brigade. One provider owns the outcome, from first audit to live protection.

Berlin-based, founded by a team combining Deep-Tech leadership, high-power laser and Bundeswehr engineering expertise — for European operators who cannot afford to wait for the state.
