Over the course of 2022, Dedrone further cemented its leadership in the counterdrone industry in numerous ways. These include releasing three new products DedroneRapidResponse, DedronePortable, and DedroneDefender; raising a $30 million Series C-1 in July 2022 in the midst of economic turbulence; and supporting the Ukrainian war effort with DedronePortable and DedroneDefender, enabling soldiers to detect and mitigate drone threats.

“We are honored by CNBC’s recognition of our growth and our leadership in this new era of global security and public safety,” said Aaditya Devarakonda, CEO of Dedrone. “We offer the most advanced end-to-end counterdrone solution to security professionals, public safety, and military professionals around the world, powered by our sophisticated AI/ML and sensor-fusion capabilities, which has resulted in the largest install base among companies in our industry. It is wonderful to be recognized for our technological advances and we offer our congratulations to the other honorees.”

The annual determination of the CNBC Disruptor 50 is based on a proprietary methodology that incorporates both quantitative and qualitative inputs. Previous honorees include Zipline, Arctic Wolf and Brex.

Now in its 11th year, the list was designed to showcase the most innovative venture-backed companies that are using breakthrough technology to meet rising consumer and economic challenges. Nominees undergo rigorous scrutiny including measurements such as scalability, revenue and user growth, and workforce diversity.

The list was released today across CNBC’s TV and digital platforms. In identifying fast-growing companies on the path to being the next generation of companies, CNBC said that this year’s Disruptor 50 list “could be the most consequential yet.”
