Eurosatory 2026 | DroneShield Rolls Out First Europe-Manufactured Counter-Drone Systems

Australian counter-drone technology company DroneShield has announced the successful completion of its first production run of European-manufactured Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS), marking a significant milestone in the company's global manufacturing and supply chain strategy.

European-Local Supply Chain Strengthens Regional Sovereignty

In its official statement, DroneShield noted: "Australia-manufactured products continue to be supported by a predominantly Australia-based supply chain, while Europe-manufactured products are produced through contract manufacturing arrangements using a predominantly European local supply chain, further strengthening regional resilience and sovereign capability."

This production announcement represents the latest development in DroneShield's ongoing expansion into the European market. The company had previously established its European headquarters in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, as the core base for its European operations.

AI-Powered Detection Across Military and Civilian Domains

The European-manufactured C-UAS variant features artificial intelligence (AI)-based detection technology capable of identifying a broad range of aerial drone threats in both military and civilian settings. DroneShield indicated that, as demand for counter-drone systems continues to surge across Europe, the company plans to further scale up its European manufacturing capacity to meet market requirements.

Notably, DroneShield's RfPatrol Mk2 — one of the company's flagship products — provides airspace awareness capabilities for military personnel, law enforcement agencies, and close-protection security professionals.

Background: Rapidly Growing Counter-Drone Demand in Europe

As drone threats escalate across both military conflict zones and civilian security environments, procurement demand for C-UAS solutions among European governments and defense agencies has grown sharply. DroneShield's move aligns with Europe's broader push for "strategic autonomy," while also helping to shorten supply chain lead times and reduce geopolitical risk. The development is expected to further consolidate the company's competitive position in the European market.
