Valkyr Signs Order for testing HILDR
During early 2027 - Valkyr will test the HILDR system together with FMV
A new type of Defense Developer
VALKYR DEFENSE SYSTEMS AB is a new Swedish defense technology company developing cost-effective, agile, and modular defense solutions with a focus on COTS components, practical innovation, and short time-to-market. The company originates from clear market needs and a strong network within total defense and the defense industry, combining the founders’ extensive experience with a culture of simplicity, speed, and adaptability.
HILDR IS COMING
The future of defense
will be shaped by strong ecosystems — where both large players and SMEs
contribute with their respective strengths.
SMEs
bring speed, specialization, and adaptability. At the same time, there
is more to do in how we enable collaboration, access, and long-term
partnerships across the sector.
Because the challenges we face are already here.
The
rapid evolution of drone threats is a clear example — creating an
immediate need for responsive and scalable C-UAS capabilities like HILDR.
At
Valkyr Defense Systems, we aim to contribute where we can add value —
both through our capabilities and by engaging in the broader ecosystem.
This is a shared effort.
HILDR
LAST LINE OF DEFENSE
HILDR is an autonomous close-range defense system designed to detect, track, classify and neutralize drones at very short distances (0–30 meters)
The system combines AI-based target detection, advanced sensor fusion (optical, infrared, acoustic and RF), and an electrically controlled dual mode effector system to deliver rapid, precise and controlled engagement.
HILDR can be mounted on vehicles, containers or fixed installations
The system has been developed based on concrete front-line experience, delivering automated protection where no effective protection exists today.
HILDR is a system for the frontline as much as rear operations and civilian protection. Who is protecting Medivac, UGVs, Communication and Logistics?
Moving towards larger goals
Only in the Nordics there are more than 20.000 high value targets that could be defended by HILDR without any human prescence - Military, Energy, Water, Communications, Borders, Political Events, Police Enforcement etc. Anywhere a FPV drone presents a threat. HILDR presents a solution. During Q4 2027 we will be opening our next emission round to take HILDR all the way. Stay tuned.
