DroneShield Selected for LAND 156 LoE 3 Panel
Sydney based DroneShield has been selected for Defence’s Project LAND 156 Counter small Uncrewed Aerial System (C-sUAS) Services Line of Effort 3 Standing Offer Panel. The Panel arrangement enables Defence to procure DroneShield’s C-sUAS services through selective and limited tender and supports Defence’s strategy of addressing evolving threats from small drones.
The Panel arrangement provides DroneShield with a pathway to provide a C-sUAS Capability as a Service (CaaS) to Defence across its 150 bases and installations, and other government sites, as it addresses the escalating threat of small drones in domestic security environments.
DroneShield’s selection as a Category 2 C-sUAS solutions provider on the Panel allows for Defence to procure hardware, software, Command-and-Control software (C2), and all associated support services under a Capability as a Service (CaaS) model. DroneShield is one of a number of parties selected as a provider on the Panel.
Oleg Vornik, Chief Executive of DroneShield said, “We welcome the opportunity to support Defence through this Panel arrangement and stand ready to deliver battle-proven, software-defined C-sUAS solutions.”
“The growing threat from small drones demands practical, tested solutions to safeguard Defence bases and critical assets,” said AIRCDRE (Ret’d) Terry Van Haren DSM, Vice President Strategy of DroneShield. “We encourage Government and Defence stakeholders to take advantage of this Panel arrangement to experience DroneShield’s proven capabilities in domestic security.”
