The Russia-Ukraine conflict has driven another stage of evolution for drones and the counter measures to defend against them.
DroneShield’s DroneSentinel multi-sensor C-UAS system has been certified by the UK government’s Centre for Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI).
The certifications allows for DroneSentinel to be included in the CPNI Catalogue of Security Equipment - an approved list of products for deployment across various critical infrastructure customers in the UK, such as airports, stadiums and other key sites.
Oleg Vornik, CEO, DroneShield, said: ‘The importance of this world’s first formal government certification is that it substantially reduces procurement cycle in the nascent counterdrone space by giving prospective customers certainty of product quality.
