What is C-FPV?
C-FPV ApS is a Danish defense technology company founded in 2024 by Major Jørgen Leif Svane and Dr. Rasmus N.W. Eriksen. The company develops modular, kinetic “hard-kill” counter-drone (C-UAS) systems to neutralize FPV kamikaze drones and loitering munitions that evade electronic warfare (EW) defenses. Its core mission is to deliver a scalable, vehicle- and platform-agnostic last-layer defense against jamming-immune unmanned aerial threats.
Why do we like it?
C-FPV targets one of the fastest-growing and most critical threat areas in modern warfare—the rise of low-cost FPV and loitering munitions overwhelming current EW systems. The company’s “Shotling Gun” offers a modular, cost-effective, and ammunition-based kinetic solution with broad deployment potential across ground, air, and naval platforms. Early operational interest from Ukraine and validation through the NATO Innovation Challenge reinforce strong market pull. The business aligns with NATO and EU defense re-industrialization trends and could achieve rapid adoption once field-proven.
What do they do?
C-FPV develops and manufactures modular kinetic counter-UAS systems, led by its flagship “Shotling Gun.” The system is an electrically driven, 26-barrel rotary shotgun capable of 3,000 rounds per minute, firing up to 4,600 tungsten pellets per burst. It integrates automated fire control, wide elevation coverage, and multi-sensor targeting (EO/IR/RF). Designed for cost-effective operation, it uses standard 12-gauge ammunition, offering recurring revenue from consumables. The company holds pending patents covering its magazine system, drive mechanics, and targeting automation.
What is the opportunity?
The FPV and loitering munition threat has exposed a critical capability gap for NATO and allied forces: defending against drones that are small, fast, and immune to electronic jamming. C-FPV’s approach—low-cost, modular kinetic interception—directly addresses this gap. With validation opportunities on active battlefields in Ukraine, successful deployment could accelerate defense procurement traction. The estimated global counter-UAS market will reach ~$10 billion by 2030, with kinetic systems expected to be one of the fastest-growing sub-segments (26–27% CAGR).
Business status / operations
C-FPV is finalizing its Gen-1 MVP rotary system, developing stabilization, recoil management, and targeting integration. It has established prototype assembly and testing capabilities, including ballistic and FPV drone range facilities, and is preparing field validation with Ukrainian defense partners. Partnerships include America 2030 and Myriad for capital and network support, and operational collaboration with the Ukrainian Da Vinci Wolves Battalion and Defense Robotics UA. The firm is evaluating production partners for scaling post-pilot.
Recent financing and investors
C-FPV completed a pre-seed round at approximately €7 million post-money valuation. Equity is held primarily by the two co-founders (~90%), with Myriad and America 2030 holding minority stakes. Capital is allocated to MVP engineering, supply-chain development, and pilot deployment.
Competitive Landscape
The company competes across the C-UAS defense spectrum. Primary incumbents include DroneShield (EW/jamming), Rheinmetall (Natter), Kongsberg (Protector), and others offering AI-enabled machine guns or interceptor drones. Adjacent competitors include Epirus (directed energy), Dedrone (detection/monitoring), SensoFusion (RF takeover), and D-Fend Solutions (cyber takeover). C-FPV differentiates through lower cost-per-kill, minimal collateral risk, and modular, platform-agnostic deployment. Its approach offers a distributed kinetic defense layer without reliance on high-cost munitions or complex targeting systems.
