Investments in C-UAS equipment
U.S. DoD In its FY2019 request, the [U.S.] Army wants to spend $297.8 million to buy five Expeditionary LIDS [Low-slow-small UAS Integrated Defeat Systems], 10 Mobile-LIDS, Radar Vehicles and 10 M-LiDIS EW Vehicles. Additionally, these funds will procure man-carried systems ...Source: JED Magazine – April Issue, p. 32-33
DroneShield announced a $3.2 million sovereign order for 70 units of its DroneGun™ tactical jammer product for a Middle Eastern Ministry of Defence allied with the Western countries. This is not only the largest order in DroneShield’s history but also the largest known order for tactical drone mitigation equipment of this kind globally in the history of the nascent counter-drone industry.Source: sUAS News, Press Release by DroneShieldhttps://www.suasnews.com/2018/06/droneshield-turnbull-pyne-defence-export-strategy-bears-fruit/
