Valkyr Defense Systems AB
Valkyr Defense Systems AB develops cost-effective, modular counter-drone defense solutions, anchored by its HILDR autonomous close-range system that detects, tracks, classifies, and neutralizes drones within 0–30 meters. The system combines AI-based target detection with optical, infrared, acoustic, and RF sensor fusion, and can be mounted on vehicles, containers, or fixed installations. Built on commercial off-the-shelf components, HILDR is designed for rapid deployment across frontline, rear operations, and civilian protection.

Problem
The rapid evolution of drone threats has created an immediate need for responsive and scalable counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) capabilities. Traditional defense development cycles are often too slow and expensive to keep pace with these emerging and changing threats, leaving military and security forces vulnerable.
Solution
Valkyr Defense Systems provides cost-effective, agile, and modular defense solutions, with a primary focus on C-UAS technology through its HILDR product line. By prioritizing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, the company reduces costs and accelerates development timelines, enabling faster delivery of critical defense technologies. HILDR is an autonomous close-range defense system that detects, tracks, classifies, and neutralizes drones at very short distances (0–30 meters), combining AI-based target detection, advanced sensor fusion (optical, infrared, acoustic and RF), and an electrically controlled dual mode effector system. The modular design of their solutions ensures they can be adapted to a variety of operational environments and mission requirements. This approach combines practical innovation with the speed and adaptability of a smaller enterprise to meet urgent defense needs.
Target Audience
The primary customers are military and defense organizations, as well as government security agencies, that require rapid, scalable, and cost-efficient counter-drone capabilities for frontline, rear operations, and civilian protection.
