D13 Wins Cash Prize in Final Round of ThunderDrone II
PERTH, WA and COLUMBIA, MD USA – DEPARTMENT 13 INTERNATIONAL LTD (ASX: D13) (“Department 13”, “D13” or “the Company”) a cutting edge developer of counter drone technology, is pleased to announce it has been awarded 3rd place in ThunderDrone RPE III, from a field of 450 other competing technologies and vendors.
Key Highlights:
• D13 was shortlisted from 450 C-UAS submissions assessed
• MESMERTM was 1 of 5 finalists remaining in the competition
• Phase 3 saw D13 demonstrate MESMERTM’s capabilities in front of key
Government and military customers
• D13 is the only prizewinner to compete on a standalone basis and the only
technology using protocol manipulation
The ThunderDrone trials were initiated by SOFWERX upon request of the US Special Operations Command and Strategic Capabilities Office to assess the Unmanned Aerial Systems industry and leading technologies within this field.
Phase 3 held at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, on the 18th of June saw MESMERTM compete against 4 other counter-UAS technologies, that had been shortlisted from over 450 submissions. The two technologies that placed ahead of MESMERTM were solutions consisting of multiple technologies from multiple companies, working cooperatively. D13 competed on a standalone basis and was the only technology utilizing protocol manipulation (non-jamming) to actively mitigate drones.
A cash prize of US$100,000 was awarded to D13 but more importantly delivered a further opportunity to demonstrate MESMERTM’s capabilities to an array of potential customers
WELL DONE D13!
