MyDefence combines a Danish counter-drone equipment business with international manufacturing, software and regional delivery partners. Its recent record includes an Australian contract through HighCom, a September 2026 New Zealand selection and an integration agreement with Terma. These records show a company expanding through several commercial models rather than relying on one type of equipment sale.

The financial evidence also needs precise labels. MyDefence A/S publishes gross profit and net profit, while its latest company release gives a dated workforce count. Those figures are useful, but gross profit should not be displayed as turnover. The distinction is especially relevant when comparing the privately held business with listed manufacturers that publish consolidated revenue.

Danish operating company, investment-fund ownership

MyDefence A/S is based in Nørresundby and its annual report identifies Dan Dejgård Sommerlund Hermansen as the executive board member. Its corporate record dates incorporation to November 2013. The business develops, produces and sells electronic equipment for drone surveillance and protection. MyDefence A/S annual report

Bridgepoint announced its majority investment in June 2024 through Bridgepoint Development Capital IV. The announcement linked the investment to production expansion, research and international growth, without disclosing transaction terms. This is an investment-fund relationship; the publicly listed Bridgepoint manager's own financial scale is not the turnover of its portfolio company. Bridgepoint transaction announcement

For an industry partner, ownership matters because expansion priorities and investment resources can influence the shape of a relationship. It does not determine which regional entity will sell equipment or accept support obligations. Those details should be established against the contract, particularly as MyDefence develops manufacturing and customer-facing operations outside Denmark.

What the financial statements actually disclose

Measure Published figure Reporting boundary
2025 gross profit DKK251.984 million MyDefence A/S company accounts
2025 net profit DKK125.388 million Same annual accounts
Average employees in 2025 76 Annual average, operating-company accounts
May 2026 workforce 135 Dated company press disclosure
Annual turnover Not separately verified No gross-profit figure substituted

The annual report presents separate-company accounts and refers readers to MyDefence Group ApS for consolidated reporting. Its staff note explicitly identifies the annual average. The May 2026 announcement provides the later headcount and describes production in Denmark and the United States, a Ukraine innovation hub, and offices in the UK and Singapore. May results and expansion update

These disclosures describe a growing organisation, but they should not be combined into a precise annual employee-growth calculation. One is an average within a named accounting entity; the other is a company-reported snapshot with a broader expansion narrative. Keeping the labels visible makes the figures useful without creating false comparability.

The same approach applies to profit. A prospective manufacturing partner may find the earnings record relevant to the company's ability to invest, while still needing project-level information about order timing and payment. An investor's acquisition announcement, the operating company's profit and a distributor's customer contract answer different commercial questions.

Product families create different customer relationships

MyDefence's current catalogue groups its offering into wearable, vehicle, perimeter and software products. Named families include Wingman, Watchdog and Dobermann, alongside the Situational Awareness System and drone-library services. This profile treats those as product and business categories, without attempting to reproduce operational instructions or endorse performance claims. Product portfolio

The breadth creates several possible purchasing relationships. An organisation may buy portable equipment with training, commission a fixed-site installation or integrate sensor information into a wider system. The work around those purchases differs: replacement equipment and user support are central to one, while installation coordination and software interfaces may dominate another.

For a regional distributor, choosing the relevant product category also determines what support capability it needs to maintain. A business able to import hardware is not automatically prepared to manage installation, commissioning and continuing customer support. MyDefence's named HighCom arrangements show why this distinction is part of the commercial proposition.

HighCom connects products with regional delivery

The April 2026 Australian announcement describes a A$9.81 million contract, including GST, involving MyDefence technology and HighCom Technology's delivery and support services. It followed a customer evaluation programme and originally targeted completion by the end of June. The figure belongs to the described customer contract, not a disclosed MyDefence-only revenue allocation. Australian contract announcement

The September New Zealand announcement then identifies a NZ$1.96 million NZDF contract signed by HighCom Technology. It covers equipment, spares and training support, with delivery expected during FY27. HighCom's role includes regional supply, integration, commissioning and continuing support. New Zealand selection

Together, the two records show a repeat regional relationship with identifiable responsibilities. The commercial significance is not simply that the same distributor appears twice. The local business performs work around the manufacturer's products that the public customer needs in order to receive and support a capability.

A hypothetical New Zealand service company assessing this market would therefore have a more specific question than whether it can resell counter-drone equipment. It could examine whether an identified delivery organisation needs local training administration, maintenance coordination or another defined support service. That starts from the published work package and avoids assuming that a new selection creates an open role for every potential intermediary.

Terma adds a different type of partnership

The August 2026 Terma agreement is a memorandum covering development, integration and joint marketing. Its initial focus combines Terma's SCANTER Sphera radar with MyDefence equipment and IRIS command-and-control software. The announcement describes intended work during 2026 and a possible broader relationship over time. Terma cooperation announcement

This relationship sits at a different stage from HighCom's named customer contracts. It concerns combining complementary products and taking a joint offering to market. For a customer, the resulting commercial questions include who supplies the complete solution, who supports each constituent product and who manages changes across the combined offering.

For another technology supplier, it illustrates the value of a clearly defined integration role. A specialist product can become more commercially useful when another company supplies a complementary capability. The agreement's value will become easier to assess as the partners publish completed integration milestones or identified customer purchases.

The DroneShield profile provides another company-level view of this market. Comparisons should distinguish a manufacturer's individual products, an integrated offering and the services a regional partner provides, rather than treating every counter-drone announcement as directly comparable business.

US production changes the industrial footprint

MyDefence's March 2026 release reports that its Oklahoma City manufacturing and innovation facility opened on 26 February. It identifies Bill Ostrowski as president and chief executive of MyDefence North America and describes plans for engineering, manufacturing and integration employment. Oklahoma City facility

The site adds a concrete production location to the company's international footprint. It can make local supplier and customer relationships easier to organise, while the actual product, support and procurement arrangements remain specific to each transaction. Manufacturing presence alone should not be turned into a blanket assertion that every US purchasing condition is met.

The OpenWorks Engineering profile offers a further comparison of specialist products and integration relationships. For MyDefence, the next useful evidence is delivery under named regional contracts, subsequent Terma milestones and clearer financial disclosure of the expanding corporate group. Those developments will show how its larger organisation supports repeat business across distinct products and markets, with identifiable delivery obligations and customer support.
