DroneShield and Origin Robotics have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to formally progress joint collaboration across defence and security projects.
Origin Robotics is a a defence technology company specialising in advanced autonomous systems.
“Counter-UAS has entered a phase where accuracy, speed and scalability are non-negotiable. Our sensor fusion capability delivers world-leading quality track data and allows operators to continuously strengthen drone detection. By partnering with Origin, we are creating a pathway that directly addresses the need to defeat Shahed-type threats, providing operators with a mature, affordable and operationally credible approach as part of a truly layered sensor and effector solution," Chief Product Officer at DroneShield, Angus Bean, stated.
DroneShield will contribute its advanced detection, electronic warfare and sensor fusion and command-and-control capabilities.
Meanwhile, Origin Robotics will bring its interceptor-focused autonomous platforms engineered for rapid launch, with its Blaze platform, selected by multiple European governments and now entering operational service, according to the company.
“Our autonomous interceptor platforms are built for the realities of modern conflict, where traditional systems can struggle to respond quickly or cost-effectively. Partnering with DroneShield allows us to combine best-in-class detection with real-time interception, creating a more responsive and scalable approach to counter-UAS operations," CEO of Origin Robotics, Agris Kipurs, said.
The MOU has established a structured framework for the two companies to partner on joint projects that address emerging counter-UAS requirements.
