An Australian law enforcement agency has decided to use DroneShield to deliver advanced counter-drone solutions under a contract valued at over $1 million.
“We’re proud to support another Australian law enforcement agency with our sovereign, AI-powered solutions,” CEO of DroneShield, Oleg Vornik, said.
This procurement is part of a broader initiative to modernise law enforcement tools and mitigate the growing risks posed by unauthorised drone activity across Australian skies. The increasing accessibility of drones – and their use in surveillance, disruption, and potential attacks – requires fast, intelligent, and reliable responses.
“As drone incursions become more frequent, particularly around high-profile events and critical assets, frontline personnel need effective tools that are easy to deploy and operate. Our systems are built in Australia, for Australia’s unique operational needs," Vornik stated.
DroneShield’s multi-layered solution suite consists of a mix of hand-held, on-the-move, and expeditionary systems, allowing officers to detect, assess, and neutralise rogue drones with speed and precision. The selected technologies were created for use in a range of operational settings, including protection of critical infrastructure, major public events, sensitive facilities, and restricted airspace zones.
There is an integration of AI-driven radio frequency (RF) sensing, deep-learning-based signal recognition, and non-kinetic countermeasures within the solutions. This partnership will support the Australian Government’s Commonwealth Procurement Rules, prioritising homegrown innovation and industrial resilience in defence and security as DroneShield is headquartered in Sydney.
Earlier this year, DroneShield released its UAS Incident platform, a new tool designed to give DroneShield customers comprehensive insights by sector into drone-related incidents worldwide.
“Our new UAS Incident platform is a game-changer for both our military and civilian customers alike,” Vornik explained.
The platform has enabled customers to track, assess, and respond to drone-related risks by leveraging a continuously updated repository of incidents. It also has allowed clients to conduct their own analysis on emerging trends, specific to their safety and security risk profile.
