An Australian law enforcement agency has selected DroneShield to deliver advanced counter-drone solutions under a contract valued at over $1 million, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to safeguarding public safety and national security in the face of evolving unmanned aerial threats. Announced from Sydney on 21 May 2025, the agreement highlights the growing necessity for modern, responsive tools to counter illicit drone activity in Australian airspace.

This move is part of a broader effort to modernize law enforcement tools in response to the illegal use of drones. The agreement with DroneShield represents a new step in adopting sovereign technologies to counter unauthorized drone incursions. The Sydney-based company develops advanced solutions that integrate artificial intelligence, radio frequency sensors, deep learning-based signal recognition, and non-kinetic countermeasures. The goal is to provide frontline officers with tools that are easy to deploy and operate across various environments, including critical infrastructure, major public events, sensitive sites, and restricted airspace.
DroneShield’s equipment offering includes portable systems such as the DroneGun, an electronic device that disables drones by disrupting their command, navigation, or video transmission signals. Battery-powered and designed for single-person use in the field, it provides a rapid and targeted response to drone threats. In addition, the DroneSentry is a fixed or semi-mobile system that combines multiple sensors and countermeasures for continuous perimeter surveillance. It is particularly suited to the protection of strategic and sensitive areas.
DroneShield also provides vehicle-mounted integrated systems, such as the DroneSentry-X, designed for mobile operations. This module combines RF and radar detection, visual identification through cameras, and non-kinetic interference solutions. It allows security personnel to monitor wide areas while maintaining mobility. The range of systems enables full operational coverage in urban, rural, or temporary high-value locations. Their modular design and user-friendly interface make them suitable for rapid adoption in the field without requiring advanced technical training.
DroneShield CEO Oleg Vornik emphasized the importance of working with a local agency, noting that the systems are built in Australia to match the country’s specific operational requirements. He added that the rising number of drone intrusions around high-profile events and strategic assets necessitates a fast and effective response.
The company offers a multi-layered suite of solutions, including portable, mobile, and expeditionary systems. These allow authorities to detect, assess, and neutralize hostile drones with accuracy. By integrating advanced analysis and detection technologies, the company enhances the ability of agencies to address emerging threats.
Earlier this year, DroneShield launched its UAS Incident platform, which provides clients with a sector-specific overview of drone-related incidents worldwide. This constantly updated database allows users to monitor, analyze, and respond to drone risks, while also enabling them to conduct their own trend analyses tailored to their specific safety and security profiles.
This partnership aligns with the Australian Commonwealth Procurement Rules, which prioritize local innovation and industrial resilience in the defense and security sector.
The adoption of DroneShield systems by an Australian public security agency reflects the increasing use of domestic technology to address the challenges posed by drones. Through a combination of AI, advanced sensors, and flexible operational systems, these solutions aim to strengthen law enforcement capabilities in an evolving security landscape.
