The Kreuger 1000 (pictured above) is made in Sweden by Nordic Air Defence, (NAD). It is a dual-use drone interceptor platform that uses batteries instead of fuel-based propulsion.
In our rapidly changing world, safeguarding democracy is key to human progress and societal stability. Our democracy is now being challenged by the changing nature of conflict, where state aggressors are increasingly relying on drones to gain the upper hand.
Unfortunately, conventional anti-drone weapons like jammers, lasers, and kinetic weapons are costly or ineffective against modern threats.
NAD’s solution replaces complex hardware with software with a drone interceptor for military and civil application that achieves unprecedented speeds.
NAD puts portable defence tech in the hands of those who need it while driving down costs.
The the company has raised several millions of US dollars from investors during the last year that include SNÖ, a Nordic-focused VC firm, along with a number of angel co-investors – Noam Perski, Fredrik Hjelm, Jan Gurander, and Jörgen Bladh.
