The company has previously received seven stand-alone orders from this reseller between March 2019 and July 2025, totalling approximately $2.9 million.

“With this new contract, DroneShield continues to position itself as one of the preferred C-UAS systems in Latin America,” DroneShield chief executive officer Oleg Vornik said.

“As demand continues to evolve, DroneShield is ready to meet the requirements from a region where drones play a key role in the modern warfare.”
