DroneShield Awarded $5.7 Million US Government Contract

Sydney-based DroneShield Ltd has received a repeat order worth $5.7 million from an undisclosed US Government customer for a number of its C-UxS (Counter-UxS) systems. Further material orders are anticipated from this customer.

The delivery, involving multiple DroneShield product lines, is expected to be completed in several stages throughout the remainder of the year.

“Our comprehensive product portfolio paired with high-level manufacturing affords us the ability to rapidly outfit US and partner nations with lifesaving technology, while also addressing a wide range of operational requirements,” said Tom Branstetter, DroneShield’s director of business development. “It’s a privilege to assist the US government and our allies in strengthening security both at home and abroad.”

C-UxS refers to counterdrone systems targeting multi-domain aerial, ground and maritime surface drones, says the company.
