About the company
What they build and who they serve.
Fortem Technologies is a Utah-based airspace security firm that builds an end-to-end counter-unmanned aerial system stack — its SkyDome platform combines TrueView AI radar sensors, command-and-control software, and the autonomous, net-firing DroneHunter interceptor drone. The company sells primarily to defense and homeland-security customers, with deployments validated in Ukraine, the Middle East and East Asia, plus active U.S. Army and Department of Homeland Security contracts. Fortem positions itself as a low-cost-per-engagement alternative to kinetic interceptors as small-drone threats proliferate.

Why it matters
Signals from funding, traction, and product direction.
- The $25M is the initial tranche of a Series B that Fortem is targeting at $50M in total, with CEO Jon Gruen telling Tectonic Defense that the round is expected to close by the end of June 2026 with additional institutional defense-focused investors.
- This is the first time a Lockheed Martin portfolio company has graduated from Lockheed Martin Ventures to the prime's corporate development group (under the CFO) — Lockheed first invested in Fortem via its venture arm in 2023.
- Fortem's technology will be embedded into Lockheed Martin's Sanctum counter-UAS Mission Management software (selected in March 2026), giving U.S. and allied forces an integrated AI-driven kill chain against drone swarms.
- Fortem enters this round with a three-year, $18M U.S. Army contract for counter-drone protection of military sites and a multi-million-dollar Department of Homeland Security order to protect 2026 FIFA World Cup venues from drone threats.
