DroneShield has announced the launch of a collaboration with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) Drone Racing Association and become a Team sponsor. The teaming will enhance its C-UAS system design, operational learning and field tactics.
The ADF Drone Racing Association is represented by the ADF’s fastest drone racing pilots from the Navy, Army and Air Force and has achieved exponential success since its formation in 2017.
The sponsorship and collaboration between DroneShield and the ADF Drone Racing Association will include systematically testing DroneShield equipment against the drones deployed by the Association, enabling two-way development of both DroneShield’s C-UAS systems, and the Association’s drone arsenal.
It will also involve collaboration around system design, operational learning and field tactics, including drone swarming attack patterns.
“The ADF Drone Racing Association contains some of the best drone pilots in the country in the military context, flying small, ultra-fast drones at over 150km/hr, in unique and challenging settings," said Oleg Vornik, DroneShield’s CEO.
There is a large amount of operational learnings between our teams, and we look forward to the collaboration. This is a significant red-teaming opportunity for DroneShield to continue to stay at the edge of C-UAS capabilities globally.”
