DroneShield launches area-specific satellite denial systems

DroneShield announced today the launch and initial order from a Defence customer for its target area specific satellite denial systems.
 
DroneShield has used Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) denial against unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for a number of years as part of smart defeat capability within their products. The development process has given DroneShield systems the ability to focus disruption on a specific targeted area.
 
A FVEY government has requested that DroneShield develops this capability to the next level with a paid R&D project, expected to be followed by a series of further projects, each project including more advanced development of the system.  The dollar value is not material for the initial project, but it is an area of expansion that is likely to become material in the next 24 months.
 
“DroneShield has proven a successful ability to rapidly innovate and deliver on defence R&D contracts, as recently demonstrated in our Electronic Warfare domain efforts, where the Company has progressed from the initial $600k project, to $3.8 million, to $9.9 million, all within a 3-year period,” said Oleg Vornik, DroneShield’s CEO.
 
“Both electronic warfare and satellite denial represent closely adjacent areas to our core C-UAS space, with the learnings able to be channelled into our C-UAS work, in addition to the contracts on their own representing value for the business.”
