DroneShield Limited has announced a $9.7 million deal comprising three separate contracts to supply handheld and mobile counter-drone systems to a defense customer in Latin America.
The Australian defense technology firm said the equipment will be delivered in the third and fourth quarters of 2025.
The company confirmed that the contracts are being fulfilled through a privately owned in-country reseller, which is contractually obligated to distribute the systems to the unnamed defense end user. According to DroneShield, all deliveries and payments are scheduled for completion within the second half of this year. The company noted that no additional conditions remain for the contracts to proceed.
This marks the third wave of orders from the same reseller. In December 2024 and January 2025, the reseller executed two earlier contracts with DroneShield, valued at approximately $10.8 million combined. All prior deliveries and payments were completed on time, according to the company.
“In 2025, DroneShield has successfully delivered products, capability, and training into the Latin American market,” said DroneShield CEO Oleg Vornik in a statement. “With a substantial pipeline, diversified over multiple countries and customers, DroneShield is anticipating further developments in 2025 in this region.”
The systems involved in the new package include portable and vehicle-mounted solutions designed to detect, identify, and neutralize unmanned aerial threats. These capabilities are increasingly sought after by defense forces facing evolving risks from commercial drones and small UAVs.
Although the company did not disclose the exact systems involved in this contract, DroneShield’s portfolio typically includes its DroneGun series of handheld jammers and modular sensor systems suitable for mobile and fixed installations. These technologies are tailored for tactical use in urban, border, and high-threat environments.
The Latin American market has emerged as a growth area for counter-drone capabilities, particularly as regional militaries expand their airspace security frameworks. DroneShield’s continued penetration into the region signals sustained demand for non-kinetic drone mitigation technologies.
