Droneshield has received an order from the US DoD, valued at $1.8 million, for the DroneGun Mk III C-UAS system (in the picture), with delivery due for completion this month. The order follows a recent down-selection of the system for evaluation by the Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office (JCO).

“As the threat of UAS continues to seemingly adapt in real-time, countermeasures need to be both effective and flexible […] DroneGun MKIII is that lightweight, flexible countermeasure that can go anywhere and serve as the ideal gap fill capability to protect personnel and assets wherever they might need to operate,” explained DroneShield CEO in the US, Matt McCrann.

The contract is the company’s largest US sale to date, following several recent successes elsewhere (notably in Europe) and the first deployment of the system to a US airport. The company states it is also in active discussions with Ukraine.
