Accelerate Defense Modernization through Strategic Sourcing
Discover cutting-edge solutions from leading global suppliersNOBLE has entered into a distribution agreement with DefendEye to provide military, government, and first responder agencies with fully autonomous AI search drones.
The partnership focuses on the deployment of a tube-launched Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) capable of launching in under ten seconds. Designed specifically for high-stress and time-sensitive environments, the drone requires no specialized piloting skills to operate. Onboard artificial intelligence automatically detects and tracks subjects, providing immediate situational awareness for security and emergency missions.
To support the rollout, NOBLE is developing mission-specific kits and training programs tailored for law enforcement, critical infrastructure security, and defense teams. These packages are designed to streamline the transition from procurement to active field deployment through expert-led onboarding.
DefendEye is currently moving its production operations to the United States. This transition ensures the technology is NDAA compliant, with all critical components, including circuit board assembly, manufactured domestically.
Tom Noble, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of NOBLE, stated, “We are proud to offer innovative solutions to the law enforcement, security, and defense sectors. DefendEye’s solution enables instant drone deployment with minimal training. Additionally, this solution is economically accessible, allowing even mid-sized and smaller organizations to deploy advanced aerial capabilities.”
The collaboration leverages NOBLE’s existing government procurement infrastructure to deliver these systems as complete, mission-aligned packages. This includes the provision of subject matter experts with operational experience to facilitate training.
James Buchheim, CEO of DefendEye, added, “We are excited to partner with NOBLE. NOBLE’s infrastructure and expertise help us deliver our technology with the highest standards of readiness and support.”
By removing traditional barriers to entry such as high costs and intensive pilot training, the partnership aims to set a new standard for rapid aerial intelligence in the public safety and defense sectors.
