GhostLure was founded by David Frye and Chloe Duty, two Michigan chefs who turned an unconventional idea into a field-tested defense technology company. Our experience in professional kitchens taught us to solve problems under pressure, control costs, and adapt quickly—skills we now bring to developing low-cost aerial decoys and airspace-denial tools. We call our approach “barbed wire of the sky”: simple, adaptable platforms designed to complicate drone operations and give defenders more options.

​

From handmade prototypes to field testing with DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center under a two-year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, GhostLure has grown through hands-on experimentation and feedback from military end users. With support from Ann Arbor SPARK and engineering collaboration with GRZ Engineering, we are refining our platforms and preparing for further testing. Our goal is to keep design, testing, and manufacturing rooted in Ann Arbor Michigan while building practical, affordable tools shaped by the people who will use them.
