Our leaders have led hundreds of millions of dollars of defense cooperation deals with frontier allies, led Tier 1 special operations combat missions, created security products used hundreds of millions of times a year, founded and led companies from a kitchen table to an IPO, worked with the highest levels of European intelligence services, and managed technology teams across four continents. This is the most important mission we’ve ever taken on.

STRATEGIC CHALLENGE:
A Central European NATO member required rapid development of capabilities to detect and classify unauthorized drone incursions across extensive borders with multiple terrain types. With evolving aerial threats and tight budget constraints, they needed an adaptive solution that would integrate with existing border security infrastructure while providing actionable intelligence to command centers and field units.FRONTERA
APPROACH:
Leveraging our integrated methodology:
Teams: Frontera Teams worked directly with ministry personnel to assess existing capabilities against potential intrusion vectors while crafting an implementation framework aligned with current NATO air defense doctrine.
Foundation: We established a comprehensive drone threat intelligence repository incorporating classified manufacturer specifications, signature profiles, and tactical deployment patterns integrated from NATO-shared intelligence reports and sovereign data repositories.
Simulators: Using our Unreal Engine 5-powered terrain simulator, we visualized multiple intrusion scenarios across varied environmental conditions, enabling defense leadership to observe detection coverage gaps, assess optimal sensor placement, and validate interdiction response times across their territory.

STRATEGIC CHALLENGE:
A Northern European defense ministry confronted proliferating drone threats to critical national infrastructure, military installations, and government facilities. They required a comprehensive counter-drone strategy integrating detection, classification, tracking, and neutralization capabilities that would operate effectively within civilian airspace constraints while maintaining compatibility with existing NATO air defense systems.
FRONTERA APPROACH:
Leveraging our integrated methodology:
Teams: Frontera Teams collaborated with ministry personnel to develop doctrine that bridged military effectiveness with civil aviation compliance.
Foundation: We established a comprehensive threat intelligence framework incorporating drone technical capabilities, tactical employment patterns, and countermeasure effectiveness data integrated from ministerial intelligence reports and NATO-shared threat assessments.

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Our simulations demonstrated that conventional single-technology approaches would leave critical vulnerabilities that could be exploited by sophisticated adversaries. Frontera designed a defense-in-depth strategy combining passive detection systems with selective countermeasure technologies deployed in concentric security layers around critical assets. This approach provided comprehensive protection while minimizing electromagnetic interference with civilian systems—a critical requirement for urban deployments. The strategy was fully implementable within existing defense budget parameters while providing significantly enhanced protection for critical national infrastructure.
