Defense technology company DZYNE Technologies has introduced a new variant of its handheld counter-drone solution tailored for European use, the Dronebuster 4-EU, alongside news of a multi-million-dollar contract with an undisclosed allied customer. The company also announced a significant scale-up in production to meet growing international demand.
The Dronebuster 4-EU is designed to operate within European short-range device frequency bands, offering both fixed-site and wearable configurations. According to DZYNE, the system allows users to detect and jam unauthorized drones across a variety of regional frequencies and includes an optional capability to interfere with global satellite navigation systems such as GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou.
While DZYNE has positioned the 4-EU as a versatile tool for civil and military users alike, no independent data or third-party validation has yet been released regarding its performance. The system is said to support applications ranging from infrastructure protection and event security to border surveillance and maritime operations, with advertised detection and defeat ranges of up to 7 km and 1.5 km, respectively.
The launch follows what the company describes as a multi-million-dollar contract for the broader Dronebuster line, though further details about the customer or deployment timeline were not provided.
DZYNE reports more than 2,200 Dronebuster units sold globally, with over 1,000 in use by the U.S. military. The system is officially recognized by the U.S. Department of Defense as a Program of Record, indicating its inclusion in formal procurement channels.
To support expanded distribution, the company is increasing manufacturing capacity at its Portland, Oregon facility and hiring across multiple departments. The announcement did not specify how many Dronebuster 4-EU units are included in the upcoming production runs or when deliveries are expected to begin.
