Air Defense System Integration
We map, compare, and integrate ground-based air defense systems across NATO and non-NATO origins so mixed inventories operate as one layered shield.
Defense Platform & Weapons Integration
Experts in integrating defense platforms and weapons systems.
The global missile and air defense market is fragmented across dozens of producers and generations of hardware. ZDS Defense Services gives governments and industry partners a clear picture of what is available, what actually works, and how to integrate it into the systems they already operate.

Capabilities
What we do
Missile Sourcing & Interoperability
Independent assessment of what missiles exist, who produces them, current availability, and how foreign effectors can be married to existing launchers and fire control.
Radar & Sensor Engineering
Search, track, and fire-control radar selection, siting, and networking — including sensor fusion across legacy and modern architectures.
Counter-UAS / Anti-Drone
Layered counter-drone solutions spanning detection, electronic effects, gun-based defeat, and interceptor drones sized for one-way attack UAV threats.
Legacy Platform Modernization
Extending the service life and lethality of proven gun and missile platforms with modern sensors, fire control, and ammunition.
Program & Acquisition Advisory
Requirements definition, technical evaluation, supplier vetting, and delivery planning for governments navigating urgent procurement timelines.
Parts Supply & Sustainment
Supplier of critical parts and components for military aircraft, air defense systems, and related defense platforms — keeping operational fleets mission-ready.
Platforms
Systems we know intimately
Representative platforms within our area of expertise. Client-specific modifications and delivered configurations are not published.
Bofors Gun Systems
Proven autocannon air defense, still highly effective against drones and low-altitude threats when paired with modern fire control and programmable ammunition.
Gepard Self-Propelled AA
Twin 35mm radar-directed mobile air defense — a workhorse of the counter-drone fight and a platform we support in sustainment and integration planning.
Interceptor Drones
Low-cost interceptor UAVs that defeat one-way attack drones at a fraction of missile cost, closing the affordability gap in modern air defense.
Mission
Our mission statement
To make the world's air defense inventory legible and usable — connecting the nations that need protection with the missiles, radars, and counter-drone systems that can deliver it, and making those systems work together.
ZDS Defense Services is a Miami, Florida–based government contractor specializing in air defense missile and radar systems consulting. We work independently of any single manufacturer, which lets us recommend what a customer actually needs rather than what a single vendor sells.
Ukraine air defense support
Our current priority effort. Supporting the layered defense of Ukrainian airspace — sustaining and integrating gun and missile systems drawn from many national inventories against sustained missile and drone attack.
Counter-drone in the Iranian conflict
Applying our anti-drone work to the one-way attack UAV threat: detection, affordable interception, and defense of fixed and mobile assets against mass drone employment.
Allied interoperability
Working alongside partners in the United States, Poland, Norway, and Ukraine to make cross-national air defense contributions operate as one integrated system.
Past Performance
Track record
Program details, customer identities, and delivered modifications are withheld from public release. Full documentation is available to qualified government and industry parties on request.
Anti-drone system development
Developed and fielded successful counter-drone capability, combining detection, engagement, and defeat against small unmanned aircraft in active operational environments.
Missile system development & integration
Delivered missile system work spanning effector selection, launcher and fire-control integration, and interoperability across systems of differing national origin.
Legacy gun platform enhancement
Modernization of proven anti-aircraft gun platforms to restore and extend effectiveness against contemporary aerial and drone threats.
Allied advisory support
Technical consulting for allied governments on inventory assessment, sourcing pathways, and integration planning under compressed wartime timelines.
