Dedrone by Axon reports it has collaborated with Mobile Camera Security (MCS) to develop and manufacture a locally-produced DedroneRapidResponse counter-drone trailer specifically for the Australian, New Zealand and Indo-Pacific markets.
“The joint effort has been unveiled at the Australia New Zealand Intelligence Forum (ANZIF), where the new Australian-built trailer will be demonstrated outside the main exhibit hall,” said the company in a press release. “Together, the two companies are seeking to strengthen sovereign counter-drone capability and showcase Australian innovation.
“DedroneRapidResponse is a mobile, trailer-based airspace security solution that offers unparalleled counter-drone capabilities, deployable in under 20 minutes with multi-sensor drone detection including passive radio frequency (RF) sensors, radar and Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras. As Australian pioneers in diesel and solar-powered mobile surveillance, MCS brings extensive experience in extreme-environment operations and autonomous systems to the solution, ensuring reliable performance for the vast distances and challenging terrain across the Indo-Pacific region.
This Australian manufactured DedroneRapidResponse trailer will be available for live demonstration at ANZIF, where attendees can experience the integrated counter-drone system in operation, said the company.
“The partnership with Queensland-based MCS comes as Dedrone by Axon celebrates its selection for Phase 1 of the Australian Defence Force’s LAND 156 Counter-Uncrewed Aircraft Systems programme, where a number of Dedrone solutions are being evaluated as part of the procurement process. The LAND 156 programme represents Australia’s commitment to rapidly acquiring and deploying layered counter-drone capabilities to protect military and civilian environments.”
