What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
DroneShield has received an order from Kuwait’s Zain Group for its counter-UAS equipment, the company announced on 18 December.
The order follows DroneShield’s announcement of a teaming agreement with Zain Group on 5 December 2018.
Oleg Vornik, chief executive officer, DroneShield, said: ‘Our key Middle Eastern partner Zain, which operates across a number of Middle Eastern countries and has a workforce of over 6,000 and over 47 million active individual, business and governmental customers in the region, has financially committed to the partnership by ordering our equipment.
‘Just weeks ago, Zain announced the establishment of its Zain Drone business that will serve governments and enterprises in Kuwait, with plans to extend the business gradually across Zain’s regional footprint.’
DroneShield product range includes DroneGun Tactical, DroneSentinel, DroneSentry, DroneCannon RW and DroneNode.
