DroneShield Receives $33M Contract from US Government

Founded in 2014 in Australia, DroneShield is an Australian and US-based company specializing in counter drone technology.  Their product suite runs from detection capability through mitigation.  Their flagship products include the DroneSentry detection technology and the handheld DroneGun series, which allow personnel to neutralize drone threats.  DroneShield uses non-kinetic jamming technology to neutralize drones.
