Pillsbury advised Fortem Technologies, a global leader in airspace security, in connection with a $25 million investment by Lockheed Martin, a global defense technology company.

The investment represents the initial tranche of Fortem’s Series B funding round and will support the company’s efforts to scale production and expand deployment within Lockheed Martin’s Sanctum counter-unmanned aircraft system (UAS) ecosystem.

The investment also builds on the companies’ existing relationship and advances their jointly developed, integrated counter-UAS approach, which is now progressing toward broader operational deployment.
