US Navy foresees an uncrewed future for its surface and underwater fleet
The service has been conducting various procurement and development efforts to integrate unmanned surface and underwater vehicles into its inventory.
DroneShield to supply DroneGun to QPS
DroneShield will provide multiple units of its DroneGun system to the Queensland Police Service (QPS) to be used during the XXI Commonwealth Games in Queensland in April 2018, QPS announced on 28 February.
The QPS will use DroneGuns as part of aerial security during the event, specifically for counter-UAS protection.
DroneGun allows operators to block the radio communication signals and the GPS frequency of a rogue UAS and bring down the aircraft on ground safely in a controlled landing. It can also send the UAS back to its originating point, which helps to track the operator.
