DroneShield signs >$1m deal with Aust law enforcement agency
An Australian law enforcement agency will adopt DroneShield’s advanced counter-drone solutions under a contract valued at over $1 million, in a commitment to safeguarding public safety and national security in the face of evolving unmanned aerial threats.
The strategic procurement forms part of a broader initiative to modernise law enforcement tools and mitigate the growing risks posed by unauthorised drone activity across Australian skies, which may be a sign of surveillance, disruption or potential attacks. It also strengthens DroneShield’s domestic footprint and highlights the relevance of its solutions in the civilian security environment — where threats are becoming more complex, and response time is critical.
DroneShield’s multi-layered solution suite includes a mix of handheld, on-the-move and expeditionary systems, enabling officers to detect, assess and neutralise rogue drones with speed and precision. At the core of the offering is the powerful integration of AI-driven radio frequency (RF) sensing, deep-learning-based signal recognition and non-kinetic countermeasures — built for maximum impact with minimal complexity. The technology is designed for use in a range of operational settings, including protection of critical infrastructure, major public events, sensitive facilities and restricted airspace zones.
DroneShield’s locally developed and supported systems are set to ensure rapid delivery, seamless training and ongoing product updates tailored to the dynamic threat landscape, making them ideal for local law enforcement. The partnership also supports the Australian Government’s Commonwealth Procurement Rules, which prioritise home-grown innovation and industrial resilience in defence and security.
“We’re proud to support another Australian law enforcement agency with our sovereign, AI-powered solutions,” said DroneShield CEO Oleg Vornik. “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.”
