DroneShield secures AUD $1 million police contract for counter-drone gear

Just saw this on the news now. It’s under the 5 million ann threshold, similar to the 4.9 million defence contract on the 16th May.

Interesting this 1 million deal is being posted online through third party sources.

Nice to see DroneShield expanding across the state police level.

DroneShield secures AUD $1 million police contract for counter-drone gear

An Australian state police department has selected DroneShield to supply advanced counter-drone technology in a contract valued at more than $1 million, as part of efforts to protect public safety and national security from the growing risks posed by unauthorised drones.

Announced on 21 May 2025, the deal will see DroneShield provide a range of radio frequency sensing, artificial intelligence, and non-kinetic countermeasure systems. The contract supports a broader initiative to modernise law enforcement capabilities in response to the increasing presence and sophistication of drones across Australian skies.

Oleg Vornik, CEO of DroneShield, said the company was pleased to support another Australian law enforcement agency with its homegrown technologies. "We're proud to support another Australian law enforcement agency with our sovereign, AI-powered solutions," Vornik said.

He added: "As drone incursions become more frequent, particularly around high-profile events and critical assets, frontline personnel need effective tools that are easy to deploy and operate. Our systems are built in Australia, for Australia's unique operational needs."
