Two Estonian and Latvian defense companies are teaming up to help repel drone attacks along NATO’s eastern flank as the alliance looks for ways to boost its security.

The “Drone Wall” will be a cross-border system built to detect and defeat hostile drones. The concept has been launched by Defsecintel Solutions and the Defense Estonia Cluster with partners from other Baltic States.

A Memorandum of Understanding has now been signed by Latvian defense tech startup Origin Robotics and Defsecintel Solutions to start a partnership and offer solutions.

Origin Robotics will contribute its autonomous drone interceptor, Blaze, which has been engineered to counter drones that evade conventional air defense systems.
