Throughout 2024, DroneShield’s European team has actively engaged with the region’s defence and security sectors, participating in high-profile industry events to showcase rapid-response C-UAS technologies. The company emphasises the speed and precision of its deployment capabilities, a differentiator that has reinforced its reputation in the defence sector.
Høyer highlighted the company’s commitment, stating, “Attending these events isn’t just about product showcases; it’s about demonstrating how swiftly we can deliver real-world solutions. DroneShield is dedicated to equipping our customers with rapid, effective counterdrone solutions tailored to their needs.”
The strengthened European presence marks a significant step in DroneShield’s global growth, positioning the company as a leading provider of counterdrone technology. The new European team will offer on-site guidance, demonstrations, and ongoing support, ensuring customers benefit from DroneShield’s innovative C-UAS solutions.
Backed by its global headquarters in Sydney, Australia, and a U.S. base in Warrenton, Virginia, DroneShield’s local European team is poised to deliver fast response times and personalised service.
