The U.S. government has officially confirmed the cooperation with the Australian company DroneShield. As part of the contract, the company supplied its RfPatrol and DroneGun MkIII technologies to the US Army. These systems are the implementation of the so-called “Counter-UAS (C-UAS) “, a series of solutions and requirements for airspace security in the broadest sense, in particular to combat “undesirable” drones. DroneShield has already worked with government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and federal and federal agencies. This cooperation is very important, particularly in view of the growing role of unmanned aircraft in military operations.
RfPatrol is a high-tech passive device that, thanks to its compact size, is mobile and can be worn by soldiers during military operations. The equipment automatically detects all drones in the vicinity, regardless of their speed.
DroneGun MkIII is a response to the growing demand for products for the disposal of foreign aircraft. The pistol-like device is designed to be easily operated with one hand. DroneGun disrupts the radio signal of the indicated drone and forces the ship to land or return to base.
Tom Branstetter, Director of Business Development at Droneshield, said: “ “We’re grateful for the continued trust that this organization has placed in us to help address a unique set of operational challenges. “Our customer relationships are what fuel our commitment to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the counter unmanned space. Every teammate at DroneShield understands the significance of the problems we’re solving for our end-users and it’s something we’re proud to support.”
“ We’re a mission driven and user focused team here at DroneShield. Strengthening our partnership with an existing user and being able to deliver in full, within days, on an order like this is the direct result of that commitment to our users, their needs and mission,”, said Matt McCrann, CEO of DroneShield.
DroneShield will also use its technology at major events such as the next World Economic Forum in Davos.
