DroneShield Limited has announced a $6.2 million standalone contract from an in-country reseller for delivery to a military end-customer in an Asia Pacific country. The reseller is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a multi-billion dollar, global, publicly listed customer that is contractually required to distribute solutions to a major Asia Pacific military government department. The solutions include selected third-party hardware, interoperable with DroneShield’s command-and-control software platform, DroneSentry-C2. DroneShield expects to complete the delivery and receive payment in 2026.​
DroneSentry-C2 Platform Specifications
The DroneSentry-C2 command-and-control platform serves as the central system in this deployment. Built on a modular and scalable architecture designed for both horizontal and vertical scaling, deployment options include secure cloud hosting or pre-provisioned on-premises server configurations.​
The DroneSentry-C2 system integrates both DroneShield proprietary sensors and third-party counter-UAS sensors and effectors through its open architecture design. Integration capabilities include DroneShield’s DroneSentry-X Mk2 RF sensors for UAS detection and defeat, DroneOptID camera-agnostic optical/thermal camera AI software, and SensorFusionAI, the company’s sensor-agnostic 3D data fusion engine. The platform utilizes a RESTful API that enables seamless integration into existing security systems.​​
Command-and-Control Capabilities
The DroneSentry-C2 platform incorporates DroneShield’s proprietary SensorFusionAI artificial intelligence engine, which aggregates and cross-references data from multiple sources including radio frequency, radar, optical sensors, and recently integrated ADS-B aviation surveillance data. This approach reduces false alarms by more effectively distinguishing conventional aircraft from drone threats.​
Established Distribution Partnership
This contract represents the 15th standalone order DroneShield has received from this particular reseller within the past two years, bringing their cumulative business relationship to more than $48 million. The distribution partnership demonstrates sustained demand for integrated counter-drone solutions in the Asia Pacific defense market.
