Jammer resistant drone designs spark search for countermeasures
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has driven another stage of evolution for drones and the counter measures to defend against them.
DroneShield’s distributor GT&E has purchased two units of the DroneGun Tactical system for use by an unnamed Asian government security agency, the company announced on 4 October.
Delivery has already taken place. The systems will be deployed by the agency to counter UAS threats.
Oleg Vornik, CEO, DroneShield, said: ‘While the revenue from this order to the overall DroneShield business is immaterial, we believe that this order is important in that it validates our global business model. DroneShield has built up a significant counterdrone track record in the region, including through a deployment of its counter-drone products at the 2018 Olympic Games earlier this year, and we look forward to continuing to build on this momentum.’
