Company Overview

ApolloShield develops layered counter-drone solutions that detect, classify, track, and mitigate unauthorized UAVs around sensitive sites. Its platform combines RF sensing, radar options, and command software to support safe and selective response workflows.

The company is privately held and venture-backed, with reported seed financing used to accelerate productization and deployments across homeland-security and infrastructure segments. ApolloShield operates in a rapidly expanding market shaped by low-cost aerial threat proliferation.

Dual-use relevance is high: counter-UAS capability is essential for military installations and border-security missions, and increasingly important for airports, public venues, and strategic industrial assets.
