Denmark’s defense procurement agency has signed an agreement with the Danish company Terma for a new anti-drone command and control system. Defense Minister Jeppe Bruus says the system could be in use during 2026.
The Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation, known as FMI, has entered into the agreement with Terma. As DR reports, the system is intended to make it easier for the Danish military to detect drones and respond to drone threats.
Bruus, of the Social Democrats, told DR that Denmark must be able to protect itself against drones. He said the ambition is a genuine drone shield, and that the agreement with FMI and Terma is an important part of building one. According to the minister, the aim is to obtain a single, coherent picture of what is happening.
The system will support the handling of drone situations at military installations, airports, ports, energy facilities and other critical infrastructure, according to Bruus. He said it could already be put into use this year.

Radar, cameras and AI
Industry outlet Electronic Supply reported in October 2025 that Terma had been selected to build Denmark’s defense against drone attacks. That coverage described a system based on SCANTER radar together with optical and infrared cameras. According to the outlet, data from the sensors is fused using artificial intelligence into a single operational picture.
Terma’s own product material from 2025 describes a counter-drone platform called T.react CIP Counter Drone, built to detect, track, identify and defeat unwanted drones. The company combines multiple sensors with a command and control layer. In a separate 2025 company announcement, Terma said Denmark was deploying its integrated counter-drone solution across strategic sites.
The new agreement builds on an existing contractual relationship between the two parties. FMI announced in October 2024 that Terma would deliver system integration for the army’s air defense, under a framework agreement making the company responsible for air defense command and control solutions.
Neither DR nor the industry sources state the value of the new agreement. No detailed rollout schedule has been published beyond the minister’s statement that the system may be used in 2026. DR notes that its report will be updated.
Public attention to drone activity over Danish territory has grown in recent years, including incidents involving Danish forces firing at drones. Bruus linked the new agreement directly to the goal of protecting critical infrastructure, according to DR.
Terma is headquartered in Lystrup near Aarhus and supplies radar, aerostructures and defense electronics. FMI handles procurement and materiel management for the Danish armed forces on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
