About

CerbAir develops counter-drone systems that detect, track, identify, and neutralize malicious civilian drones using radiofrequency electronic warfare technology. The company offers three core product lines: Hydra, a drone detection system that uses RF spectrum analysis to detect and characterize drone communications and identify operator locations; Medusa, a drone neutralization system that jams drone control and navigation signals; and Chimera, a combined detection and neutralization system. CerbAir technology is non-emissive for detection, meaning it does not radiate signals and cannot be detected by adversaries, making it suitable for covert operations. The systems are deployed across multiple form factors including portable, vehicle-mounted, and fixed installations, with models ranging from Hydra 100 to Hydra 300, Medusa 150, and Chimera 200. CerbAir serves armed forces and government institutions, critical infrastructure and industrial sites, and large events and VIP protection. The company has deployed systems in over 14 countries, with clients including the French Ministry of Justice, French Navy, Naval Group, Airbus, Colombian Air Force, and Bangladesh Ministry of Interior. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Orsay, France, CerbAir has raised approximately $7.8 million in Series A funding from investors including Boundary, Aube Management, MBDA, TechnoFounders, Holnest, Europa, Angelsquare, and Ilavska Vuillermoz Capital.
