About this report
Short-range drones have emerged as a strategic threat on European battlefields and in critical civil spaces, forcing a search for new defensive solutions. Mara Solutions – a deep-tech defence startup founded in 2024 – is developing an autonomous counter-drone network that promises to flip the cost equation of air defence.
Its flagship platform, Spike , links AI-driven sensors into a distributed robotic system to detect and neutralise swarms of small unmanned aerial vehicles. Though headquartered in the United States, Mara’s technology speaks directly to Europe’s urgent capability gaps: protecting troops and infrastructure from mass drone attacks with affordable, resilient tools.
