Motorola Solutions closed its $1.3 billion acquisition of D-Fend, adding technology to detect and mitigate drones, according to a Yahoo Finance account of its third-quarter earnings call. Management expects its Silvus business to generate slightly more than $900 million in 2026 revenue and projects about 30% growth in 2027.

The company also raised its 2026 revenue forecast to approximately $13.05 billion from $12.975 billion after quarterly sales rose 12%. Management expects substantially higher direct memory costs in 2027 and plans supply measures and selective price adjustments to manage the pressure.
