Australian Company Secures Major Counter-Drone Deal
DroneShield has secured a potential $500 million contract with the US Department of Defence’s Joint Interagency Task Force 401 to supply counter-unmanned aircraft technology. The three-year agreement is part of JIATF-401’s Domestic Shield initiative, which aims to speed the deployment of counter-drone systems across the United States. The contract creates a procurement pathway for systems intended to protect defence infrastructure and other priority sites. This development was first reported by IT Brief Australia.
