## Summary

Fortem Technologies is a Utah defense and airspace-security company best known for TrueView radar, DroneHunter interceptors, and the SkyDome system. Its public website positions the company around counter-drone defense, airspace awareness, public venues, energy infrastructure, airports, law enforcement, and defense.

For the wiki, Fortem is important because it connects Utah's hardware, defense, autonomy, and advanced manufacturing ecosystems to a problem that has become urgent in the 2020s: small drones are now cheap, capable, and strategically disruptive.

## Impact

The impact case is strongest where drones threaten people or critical infrastructure and traditional air defense is too broad, too expensive, or legally difficult. Fortem says its SkyDome system combines sensors, autonomous interceptors, and management software into an integrated counter-UAS system.

Fortem is especially interesting because its product line includes kinetic net-capture interceptors rather than relying only on jamming or directed energy. That claim should be treated as an editorial interpretation until deeper technical sourcing is added.

## What They Are Building

Fortem builds airspace awareness and counter-UAS products: TrueView radar, DroneHunter interceptors, camera systems, DroneHangar, SkyDome Manager, and related edge-fusion software.

The official website describes products for both military and civilian contexts, including defense, energy, airports, public venues, prisons, and law enforcement.

## What They Need Now

Likely needs include radar engineers, embedded systems engineers, guidance and controls specialists, autonomy engineers, manufacturing engineers, field deployment operators, export-control-aware program managers, and policy people who understand airspace and critical-infrastructure rules.

For talent matching, Fortem is a strong candidate for people who want physical AI, defense relevance, and hardware shipped into real environments.

## Who Could Help

Useful helpers include DoD program advisors, critical-infrastructure security buyers, airspace-law experts, export-control counsel, manufacturing scale-up leaders, and operators with counter-UAS deployment experience.

Business-service providers could be relevant here if they understand government contracting, ITAR/export controls, product liability, and defense procurement.

## Utah Context

Fortem is based in Lindon, Utah. That makes it part of a Wasatch Front defense-and-hardware cluster that includes [Teal Drones](teal-drones.md), [Vector](vector.md), [Palladyne AI](palladyne-ai.md), aerospace suppliers, autonomy companies, Hill Air Force Base adjacency, and advanced manufacturing talent.

## Open Questions

- Which deployments, capture-rate claims, and customer relationships can be independently verified?
- How much of Fortem's future market is military versus civilian infrastructure protection?
- The current placeholder hero should be swapped for a cleared product or facilities image; using a generic counter-UAS or drone photograph could imply access or endorsement that is not present.
