What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
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.
‘We expect this certification to drive significant additional end customer interest in UK and also globally.’
