T3’s Rimon subsidiary launches mobile platforms for drone and counter-drone operations
NEW YORK and NETANYA, Israel, Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — T3 Defense Inc. (Nasdaq: DFNS) (“T3 Defense” or the “Company”) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Rimon Agencies Ltd. (“Rimon”), has entered the UAV and counter-UAV platform market. The expansion builds on Rimon’s June 2026 delivery of a containerized (C-UAV) launch platform to the Active Defense Division of IMI Systems, part of Elbit Systems.
Rimon is now applying that engineering experience to a configurable product line for UAV manufacturers, counter-UAV system developers, defense primes and end users in Israel and international markets.
Rimon’s platforms are designed to transport, power and operate drone and counter-drone systems where permanent infrastructure is unavailable. The product line includes launch trailers, elevated sensor masts, off-grid power and drone-docking systems, and command-and-control vehicles. Each platform can integrate customer-selected sensors, effectors and command-and-control software.
“The drone threat has moved faster than the infrastructure built to answer it,” said Menny Shalom, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of T3 Defense. “Every counter-drone program needs a way to deploy radars, interceptors and operating crews where they are needed and keep them running without a fixed base. Rimon has already delivered that capability for one of Israel’s most demanding customers. We are now turning that experience into a repeatable product line that can support a broader range of programs.”
“We are not asking customers to change their sensors or effectors,” said Itamar Shimoni, Chief Executive Officer of Rimon. “We provide the integrated platform that makes those systems deployable. Our team has completed this work under demanding schedules and specifications, and we can now offer that capability to interceptor developers, prime contractors and end users beyond the programs we support today.”
Market Opportunity
Low-cost drones are an increasing threat to military forces, borders, critical infrastructure and other sensitive sites. In response, customers are deploying layered counter-drone systems that combine sensors, command-and-control software, and hard- and soft-kill capabilities. Industry forecasts project continued double-digit growth in the counter-drone market through the end of the decade.
Rimon is targeting the mobile infrastructure required to deploy these systems, rather than competing with sensor, interceptor or software developers. T3 Defense believes this opportunity can broaden Rimon’s addressable market and support repeat, configurable production programs.
