DefSecIntel Solutions
Estonian maker of AI-driven counter-drone and autonomous surveillance systems for border and critical-infrastructure security.
DefSecIntel Solutions, founded in 2018 by CEO Jaanus Tamm, develops integrated counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) and automated surveillance platforms combining radar, RF, and electro-optical/infrared sensors with AI-powered command-and-control software. Its flagship EIRSHIELD provides layered detection-through-interception drone defense, alongside CAIMAN (vehicle-mounted reconnaissance), SurveilSPIRE (mobile situational-awareness with integrated drone box), Surveilaiz (AI-assisted C2/C2ISR software), Drone Hive, EUROMITE, and INTERCEPTORS. The company has grown to 100+ employees (80+ in Estonia, 20+ in Ukraine), passed €30M revenue in 2023, and targets €100M by 2027. It's one of five suppliers selected under a NATO Support and Procurement Agency framework for fast-track counter-drone procurement; leads the SOUND2 underwater critical-infrastructure-protection project under the European Defence Fund (with SEQUILITE and NEVMA), part of a €900k co-financing award split across three Estonian firms (DefSecIntel, Threod Systems, Frankenburg Technologies) with no per-company breakdown; and was one of four Estonian firms (with Milrem Robotics, Cybernetica, GT Cyber Technologies) sharing a 2020 EDIDP award of over €10M, again undisclosed individually. It has partnered with Denmark's Weibel Scientific (integrating Weibel's X-band radar with EIRSHIELD's C2) and Latvia's Origin Robotics (combining EIRSHIELD with Origin's BLAZE interceptor drone), and has supported Ukraine since Russia's 2022 invasion.
