Marduk Technologies has confirmed its participation in the recent counter-UAS demonstration on the island of Gotland, part of Sweden’s GUTE project. Organized by the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) and the Swedish Armed Forces, the trials brought together domestic and international industry partners to evaluate modular counter-drone capabilities under operational conditions.
The exercise focused on testing sensor-to-effector integration, with Marduk’s SHARK system playing a key role in the data chain. SHARK was used to provide real-time passive detection, classification and precision targeting data on aerial threats. According to the company, its technology was fully integrated into the trial environment, contributing to a broader layered defense system tested during the event.
SHARK is a passive electro-optical system developed by the Estonia-based firm, designed to detect and track drones without emitting signals that might reveal its position. The system’s use in Gotland is part of a wider effort by Sweden to enhance its ability to rapidly deploy flexible and mobile counter-drone solutions in response to evolving threats.
Marduk stated that its participation followed several months of integration work with FMV, Swedish industry partners and military end users to ensure the SHARK system’s compatibility with existing architectures.
The GUTE project is part of Sweden’s ongoing efforts to enhance drone defense capabilities amid heightened attention to unmanned threats across Europe. The trials come at a time when NATO countries and regional partners are increasing collaboration on counter-UAS technologies in response to the widespread use of drones in recent conflicts.
