Drones are now common among terrorist groups and fringe actors as they're cheap and easily accessible. Learn how counter-UAS can detect and prevent them from being used to cause harm

Data centers have become increasingly vulnerable to drone incursions and attacks given the sheer value of the almost insurmountable information they hold. DroneShield can provide data center operators with world-leading counterdrone – or counter-UAS (C-UAS) – protection equipment that is able to detect, identify, and neutralise intruding drones effectively and efficiently.

DroneShield provides its DroneSentry-C2 ‘enterprise’ command-and-control system to military and civilian users around the world, both in its flagship DroneSentry-C2 format, and the tactical, field commander based, DroneSentry-C2 Tactical.

Learn how DroneShield's specialized C-UAS solutions prevent drones from smuggling contraband into prisons, enhancing security and safety measures.

Drone use is well regulated in high-risk scenarios – including the airspace surrounding government, defence and airport facilities – but there remain substantial grey areas in civilian use of popular consumer grade unmanned aerial systems (UAS).

Oleg Vornik, CEO of DroneShield, weighs in on the Commonwealth government’s defence industry revitalisation plan.

What technique best defeats rogue drones? This question has surged into importance as threats from drones—becoming more and more capable and accessible—continue to increase dramatically.

Large-scale and open-air events in sports stadiums and other commercial venues have become ripe targets for drones and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

For airports, drones aren’t just a nuisance. They are a rapidly proliferating safety threat. A single drone in the hands of a negligent owner can bring airports to a standstill

Technology has evolved to the point where robot dogs and humanoids are deployable for military field duties.

Australian suppliers took a crippling hit when the automotive industry collapsed. Although the outlook for manufacturing at large remains uncertain, defence manufacturing is on the rise, and has been for three to four years.

Australia is under way to invest billions in much-needed major Defence programs, including (the much reduced but still significant) LAND400 for Infantry Fighting Vehicles, submarines, HIMARS long range strike capability vehicles, Northern Bases overhaul and much more.

The success of counter-UAS (C-UAS) defences often depends on a single factor: the ability of a human operator to correctly identify and react to a drone threat, writes Oleg Vornik, chief executive of DroneShield.

Russian forces have used “greyzone warfare” (cyber, unmarked troops, Wagner Group etc) both in Eastern Ukraine and around the globe extensively for a number of years now. Using drones is an extension of this strategy.

Small drones or small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) moved from a novelty to an everyday presence over the past decade across civilian day-to-day life

Modern warfare and tactics are regularly evolving, and asymmetric warfare is becoming a core discipline. Though this evolution raises the question of whether we are keeping up.

War is a fact of life for humankind. We have been constantly killing each other in increasingly deadly and larger scale ways for most of our history, with the last 60 years of relative peace being an aberration by historical norms.

Australia’s connection points to the global internet are vulnerable in this era of concern about increased hi-tech warfare. Undersea cables essentially carry all of the data to and from the country – without them, we go dark losing internet, phone, or other means to connect.

In recent years, the rise in public drone use has increased rapidly, and as Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) become more advanced, they are now trickling into the general market as gifts for tech-lovers around the world.
