DroneShield establishes European HQ

Sydney based DroneShield has opened its new European Headquarters in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Its establishment marks a significant step in DroneShield’s long‑term commitment to Europe, one of the Company’s fastest‑growing markets, and provides a strengthened operational presence to support its expanding footprint across EU and NATO-aligned markets, the company said in a media release.

Earlier this month DroneShield launched a European manufacturing facility at an undisclosed site in Belgium to meet accelerated demand for mature and scalable Counter Uncrewed Aerial System (C-UAS) capability.

Its new European HQ will serve as an operational base for DroneShield’s EU Centre of Excellence and aligns with the EU’s ReArm Europe Plan / Readiness 2030 initiative, which seeks to boost military spending, strengthen industrial sovereignty, and accelerate support for Ukraine, the company says.

The European Headquarters will be led by Louis Gamarra who will oversee the continued growth of DroneShield’s commercial and operational functions across Europe, including the expansion of a dedicated in-region team.

“DroneShield’s investment in Benelux marks a major milestone that strengthens our ability to support frontline users, procurement agencies and industry partners across Europe,” he said. “With increasing demand for counter-drone solutions across the region, our new European headquarters will allow us to deliver faster, more localised support to our EU partners.”

The company’s European team will continue to work alongside DroneShield’s robust network of European resellers, the company adds, while also growing internal operations functions to support delivery to customers. The newly established European headquarters will ensure that customers receive more efficient support and deployment.
