MyDefence A/S: European Strategic-Technological Analysis

MyDefence is a Danish deep-tech scale-up specializing in counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS). Its core offerings – soldier-carried RF sensors and jammers (e.g. the “Wingman” detector and “Pitbull” jammer) and integrated vehicle/site kits – align with EU priorities in autonomous systems and electronic warfare. Recent AI-enabled enhancements (the “Spectrum Warrior” sensor) further connect it to military AI/ML objectives. By providing European-made C-UAS solutions, MyDefence reduces reliance on foreign suppliers for drone defense. Its selection by NATO’s procurement agency and large U.S. Army order demonstrate interoperability and trust among allies.

The company’s expansion into the UK and U.S. markets (with support from investor Bridgepoint) shows transatlantic reach while retaining European ownership. Overall, MyDefence’s high-TRL C-UAS technology, multinational adoption, and continued R&D support stronger EU defense sovereignty and collective deterrence. MyDefence A/S is a privately held Danish company headquartered in Nørresundby, Denmark. Its official website (mydefence.com) and media releases are primary information channels. The firm maintains operational offices in the EU and allied nations: a North American subsidiary in Florida, a Ukraine office in Kyiv, and as of 2025 a new UK branch to serve British forces.

In 2024 the Bridgepoint Development Capital IV fund became MyDefence’s majority owner, indicating a private-equity backing rather than public listing. Corporate governance is managed by a board of European defense industry and military veterans; co-founder Dan D. S. Hermansen (former CEO) serves as Group CEO. While details on security clearances are not public, supplying NATO and allied forces implies MyDefence personnel and facilities meet relevant EU/NATO classification requirements.

MyDefence’s stated mission is to “save lives” by protecting personnel and infrastructure against drone threats. It operates as a specialized C-UAS technology provider within the European defense industrial base.
