DroneShield today announced the establishment of counter-UAS manufacturing in the European Union. “The announcement follows increased momentum across the continent, with national military investments growing under the ReArm Europe Plan/Readiness 2030 initiative, accelerating the need for mature, scalable, and sovereign counter-UAS capability,” said the company in a press release.
“Under a new collaboration with an experienced and established manufacturer, production of European-made counter-UAS systems is now underway, with delivery scheduled for mid-2026. The contract manufacturer will carry out full turnkey assembly and component manufacturing, including PCB assembly, precision machining, cable and wire harness assembly, and associated assembly and testing labour. As part of this collaboration, DroneShield has established and will continue to grow a primarily EU-based supply chain, making this the Company’s only production line currently outside of Australia.”
The establishment of counter-UAS production in Europe forms part of DroneShield’s global manufacturing expansion, which is planned to grow the Company’s combined total annual production capacity from approximately AUD500 million in 2025 to an expected AUD2.4 billion by the end of 2026, says DroneShield “This uplift supports rising operational demand across Europe, and reinforces DroneShield’s commitment to strengthening industrial bases and diversifying global supply chains, as militaries, law enforcement and critical infrastructure operators expand and modernise counter-UAS capabilities.”
