Ann: New Slinger Counter Drone Order for Euro31m (A$53m), page-23

DroneShield and EOS have both struggled to achieve anything like a steady flow of sales. EOS last announced a sale nearly six months ago. DroneShield have had more orders, but smaller, and they still tend to come in clusters will large gaps between.

"Defence deal 156 and Syracuse mission likely to be shared between the two" – your humble opinion would be more valuable if you could explain what it's based on. The previous ASCA mission (Black Thorn) was awarded to two undisclosed Australian companies based on Brisbane and Adelaide. But it's pretty clear that both DroneShield and EOS missed out because they are based in Sydney and Canberra respectively.

Land-156 is awarding a SIP (systems integration partner) so I think it would be extremelyunlikely that this will go to either DroneShield of EOS. Contracts for suppliers will come from the SIP after they have designed the solution.

For Syracuse, while EOS has a rather more comprehensive solution for military applications than DroneShield, neither offers the kind of multi-faceted layered solution the military wants.
