Motorola Solutions technology acquisitions

Overview

Motorola Solutions has expanded its security and technology portfolio through two significant acquisitions.

In August 2026, the company completed a $1.5 billion acquisition of D-Fend Solutions to integrate counter-drone technology. D-Fend’s EnforceAir platform uses an “RF cyber-takeover” method to control unauthorized drones via radio-frequency links, directing them to landing areas without jamming local communications. D-Fend CEO Zohar Halachmi will transition to become Motorola Solutions’ senior vice president of counter-drone solutions.

In September 2026, Motorola Solutions acquired DeepNeuronic, a Portuguese AI startup specializing in real-time video analytics. The goal is to integrate DeepNeuronic’s software into the Avigilon video security platform to enhance situational context interpretation and operational data conversion. The startup’s 17 employees will join Motorola Solutions while remaining based in Covilhã.
