Expanding into Drone and Counter-Drone Markets

On Friday, T3 Defense said its subsidiary Rimon Agencies has entered the drone and counter-drone platform market, leveraging experience from its containerized counter-drone launch platform delivered to IMI Systems in June 2026.

Rimon is developing configurable platforms for drone manufacturers, counter-drone developers, defense contractors, and end users, including launch trailers, sensor masts, off-grid power, drone docking systems, and command-and-control vehicles.

These platforms can integrate customer-selected sensors, effectors, and software, enabling deployment without permanent infrastructure.

Management said the product line builds on Rimon's field experience and aims to support broader defense programs.
