Toshiba announced that Toshiba Infrastructure Systems & Solutions Corporation has entered into a strategic business alliance with Fortem Technologies and invested 15 million USD in the company.

Fortem is a technology leader in counter-drone security and Toshiba, through the alliance, aims to expand its radar-based security solutions business.

Based in Utah, US, Fortem is a drone security company that has grown rapidly in recent years by supplying leading counter-drone systems, notably highly accurate small drone detection radars that are easily installed, and autonomous drones that can capture rogue drones in a net.

"We are very pleased to announce this alliance to accelerate the delivery of solutions to our customers that combine the disruptive innovation of our AI-enabled Fortem SkyDome System with the depth of Toshiba's commercial drone RF detection expertise and advanced radar technology."

The alliance will integrate Toshiba and Fortem's highly complementary systems to realize more effective, multi-layered counter-drone solutions and services, and expand sales in Japan and the US, and in promising overseas markets, including those of Asia, Europe, the Middle East, with mutual access to each other's sales network.

Toshiba aims to win annual sales of 30 billion JPY in the counter-drone security business by FY2030.
