Molfar Defence Technologies will showcase its tactical radar program at the Future Forces exhibition in Prague, which runs from October 21 to October 23. The Molfar Defence radar is designed to detect threats flying at low altitude, a growing concern now that drones rank among the most serious dangers in modern warfare. The appearance was announced on October 20, 2026 by Front Ventures, an investor that counts Molfar among its portfolio companies, in a statement issued from Stockholm.
Molfar is a Polish-Ukrainian company, and its main project is a tactical radar system meant to spot threats that approach close to the ground. Its ties to Front Ventures trace back to the startup’s funding history. When Molfar raised EUR 1.5 million in June 2026, Front Ventures served as the lead investor in that round. The Prague exhibition now gives Molfar a public setting to present its work while development of the radar continues.
Molfar Defence Radar Moves Through Field Testing
Drones have become one of the sharpest threats on the modern battlefield, and demand for dependable detection of low-altitude threats is climbing quickly. Molfar is building its system with exactly that problem in mind. According to the announcement, the Molfar Defence radar is already undergoing field testing, which means its tactical radar capabilities are being put to the test in the field while development continues. The company says each round of these trials helps it refine the system. Rather than waiting until that work is finished, Molfar is bringing the radar to the market while the tests are still under way.
“Each round of field testing helps us improve the radar and shape its capabilities around real operational needs. Future Forces is an opportunity to discuss how the system can fit into their existing defence capabilities and explore cooperation on future tests and integrations.” Maksym Dzherikhov, CSO and Co-Founder of Molfar Defence Technologies
Those conversations are a key reason for the trip to Prague. At Future Forces, Molfar intends to meet potential customers and partners and talk through how its technology could be used. The company views the exhibition as the first step in an intensive period, during which its discussions with the market are expected to deepen while the field testing carries on in parallel. In practice, the radar will remain in active testing even as Molfar works to build relationships with possible buyers and collaborators. The meetings are meant to help shape where the radar goes next, with cooperation on future tests and system integrations among the topics on the table.
Why Front Ventures Backs Molfar’s Low-Altitude Radar
Front Ventures says it invests in defence technology companies that solve real problems at the front and offer high scalability, and it points to Molfar as a clear example of that approach. Molfar’s work on counter drone radar technology for low-altitude threats places it squarely within that investment strategy. Front Ventures CEO Jonas Malmgren said Molfar is one of the portfolio companies the firm holds the highest expectations for, adding that Front Ventures has followed the business as lead investor from the beginning. He described Prague as the start of an exciting period for the company.
Malmgren also said the firm is looking forward to showing what Molfar has built, along with the capabilities of the radar, once the field tests are finished. Readers hoping for hard performance numbers will need to wait a bit longer. Front Ventures says more detailed information about the radar system and its verified performance is planned after testing has been completed, and the investor has committed to keeping the market updated on developments at the company as that work moves ahead. Until those results are released, the attention of both the company and its investor stays on completing the remaining trials.
