DroneShield achieves 4,000 systems sold with $7.9m order

Sydney based DroneShield says it has surpassed 4,000 Counter Uncrewed Aerial System (C-UAS) systems sold worldwide with the receipt of a package of 2 standalone contracts totalling $7.9 million for handheld systems for delivery to the US Department of Defense. DroneShield expects to deliver all equipment this calendar year.

The latest orders build on existing US Department of Defense programs already deploying DroneShield systems. These repeat orders strengthen the company’s position as a trusted provider of mission-critical solutions to address the growing challenge of drone threats on the modern battlefield and the civilian sector, it says.

“Passing 4,000 systems in service is an important milestone for our team and our customers,” said Matt McCrann, US CEO of DroneShield. “It underlines the performance and dependability of our solutions in the field, and the trust placed in DroneShield by those who rely on them.”

The entire order is expected to be fulfilled within 30 days from existing stock. That is important for this and other DroneShield customers due to their urgent operational requirements, and is an important factor in securing more orders, the company says.

The milestone comes as DroneShield reported a record first half revenue in 2025 of $72.3 million, up 210% compared with the same time last year, and Profit Before Tax of $5.2 million. Third quarter recognised revenue to date (with significant additional deliveries and further revenue anticipated prior to September month end) is currently standing at $77 million and growing, already greater than the previous two record quarters combined.

“As our customers seek to step up from their early small-scale evaluation purchases into full scale procurement, we are seeing rapidly rising customer demand,” commented Oleg Vornik, DroneShield’s CEO. “Counterdrone is still at its nascency with our customers requiring very significant additional purchases to progress to the required levels of counterdrone defence.”

The 4,000 devices sold include over 2,200 RfPatrol body-worn UAS sensors. These are produced by an Australian contract manufacturing partner, following rigorous in-house quality assurance testing.

US and European-made versions of RfPatrol will be available in those markets from 2026, as the Company expects local production to further boost sales in those geographic segments.
