Valkyr Defense Systems is a startup based in Malmö developing a new close-range defense against drones. The company focuses on the Hildr system, which is designed to stop drone attacks at very short distances. According to the company, market demand is growing faster than supply. Hildr detects drones that pose a threat and shoots them down, using AI-driven detection technology with multiple sensors. The system is intended to serve as a complement in situations where the threat arises quickly and reaction time is limited.
