UMag Solutions, a Danish defense technology company that manufactures drone-based subsurface threat detection systems, has been acquired by Bridgepoint.

The drones identify landmines, naval mines and submarines for NATO and allied militaries.

Based in Denmark, UMag supplies technology critical for naval and landmine detection.

The deal establishes a new platform for Bridgepoint in the defense sector, following the firm’s $1.4 billion acquisition of Kayne Anderson Real Estate in late June.
