About

Guard From Above is a defense prime contractor based in The Hague, Netherlands working in unmanned systems, counter-uas & air defense, c4isr.

Guard From Above is a Dutch company that designs and produces bird-shaped drones for covert surveillance, reconnaissance and counter-UAS missions. Its platforms, including the Eagle and Seagull UAS and the Evolution Eagle and Evolution Falcon, are designed to resemble natural birds so they draw less attention than conventional UAVs. Target users include military, special forces, border forces and law enforcement, with reconnaissance applications for border protection, coastal and maritime surveillance, and critical infrastructure. The company also offers operator training, covering simulator training, hands-on flight and maintenance, and delivers a bird-of-prey counter-UAS program developed with the Dutch National Police. Its civilian work includes bird deterrence and wildlife monitoring at airports, agricultural sites and industrial facilities. Guard From Above produces with trusted Dutch and European production partners, and is headquartered at WTC The Hague Business Center. Founders include Ben de Keijzer (CEO) and Sjoerd Hoogendoorn, who serves on the board of the DeepTech Defence Alliance.
