Guardian Dynamics develops and industrializes affordable, NATO-aligned SHORAD and C-UAS missile capabilities. The company enables European nations to protect their airspace against modern aerial threats without the cost, scale, or supply-chain constraints of legacy systems.

The Reality You Face Today

Air Defence Is Falling Behind the Threat

Air Defence Is Falling Behind the Threat

Air Defence Is Falling Behind the Threat

Low-cost drones and slow aerial threats are increasing faster than existing air defence capacity. High-end systems are quickly saturated, expensive interceptors are used against low-value targets, and scalable SHORAD solutions remain limited across Europe.

Our solution

Battle-Proven Capability,
Industrialized for Europe.

Guardian Dynamics addresses this gap by industrializing combat-proven technologies within a Dutch, NATO-aligned ecosystem. The result is scalable SHORAD capability designed to integrate with existing IAMD and C-UAS frameworks while maintaining affordability and operational reliability.

WARDEN NATO

WARDEN NATO is a short-range air defence (SHORAD) missile designed to neutralize drones, cruise missiles, and low-altitude aerial threats. Battle-proven and engineered for NATO alignment, it delivers affordable, scalable interception capability with a focus on cost-effective airspace protection.

About

Born in Ukraine. Built in the Netherlands. For Europe.

Guardian Dynamics is a next generation European defence industrial leader delivering battle proven, software-defined and cost-effective air defence and deep strike capabilities, integrating proven Ukrainian combat technology with Dutch NATO-integrated industrial scale, anchored in The Netherlands and scaled through continuous threat-driven iteration, advancing European strategic autonomy and reinforcing credible NATO deterrence.

Mission

Guardian Dynamics exists to close the SHORAD and C-UAS capability gaps facing Europe today. We industrialize battle proven Ukrainian effectors in the Dutch IAMD ecosystem to deliver sovereign, NATO-aligned C-UAS/SHORAD and deep strike capability with disruptive cost per kill.

Vision

Guardian Dynamics envisions a Europe where air defence is sovereign, resilient, and available at scale. A future where nations are no longer constrained by fragile supply chains, excessive cost per interceptor, or limited industrial capacity when responding to evolving aerial threats.
