Australian Defence Company Expands US Presence
DroneShield, an Australian defence company, has been awarded a place on a large US Department of Defense contracting vehicle for homeland counter-drone protection. The contract, which is indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity, has a sizeable ceiling in US dollar terms and may be the company’s largest military contract to date. DroneShield’s systems use radio frequency detection and electronic mitigation to disrupt drone control or navigation links, and the company has invested in manufacturing capacity and next-generation technology to support its growth. The contract was reported by Kalkine Media.
