ASX-listed DroneShield has secured a repeat order of $4.3 million from a US Government entity, which involves supplying a range of handheld C-UAS (Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems) devices.
The delivery process is expected to be finalised within the next 15 days, utilising the existing stock available, the company said in a media release.
Having established a longstanding relationship with the US Government, DroneShield has been collaborating with this customer for several years, fulfilling multiple smaller orders in the past.
DroneShield anticipates further sizable orders from this client in the near future, although the exact details regarding the timing and extent of these orders will be disclosed to the market as additional information becomes available.
Tom Branstetter, director of Business Development at DroneShield, emphasised the importance of staying ahead in the face of evolving unmanned systems.
“Widespread global conflict continues to provide clear evidence of the rapid evolution of unmanned systems. This U.S. government end-user demands cutting-edge capabilities to maintain its decisive advantage.”
Matt McCrann, CEO of DroneShield US, expressed his satisfaction with the recognition of DroneShield’s products within the US Government agencies.
“DroneShield products have undergone extensive evaluations from a number of U.S. Government agencies in the last several years, and we’re honoured by the customer relationship we have and pleased to start seeing the results of these efforts.”
McCrann further highlighted the significance of the company’s ability to swiftly deliver solutions, particularly in response to urgent operational requirements, as the threat posed by drones continues to escalate globally.
