DroneShield announces 3 handheld systems contracts to US government

The most recent deals for handheld counter-drone systems follow a $5.7 million deal in May last year and $7.9 million in September this year.

“For 2025 year to date, DroneShield has received 78 purchase orders with a median size order of approx. $400k. This compared to 66 orders for all of 2024, with the median order value of $200k – showing a diverse business continuing to grow across all metrics,” DroneShield chief executive Oleg Vornik said.

“Moving forward, taking into account the substantial revenue growth of the business in 2025, the announcement threshold for received orders in 2026 will increase from the current $5 million (which was based on the $57 million of revenue in 2024) to $20 million, unless there is a further rationale to announce a received smaller order.”

Operationally, DroneShield continues to execute on production expansion from $500 million annually to $2.4 billion by end of 2026, including commencement of European and US-based assembly plants.

DroneShield’s handheld solutions form a cornerstone of its wider counter-drone portfolio, which spans dismounted, vehicle-mounted, and fixed-site solutions that fuse multiple sensors and effectors integrated through DroneShield’s advanced software. Together, they provide a layered defence architecture enabling operators to detect, track, identify and defeat hostile drones with speed and precision.

Customers enrolled into the SaaS-based AI software updates receive new firmware quarterly through the company’s secure portal.
