IT’S HELL TO PAY… HEL-Enabled C-UAV Hard-Kill

Europe’s drone threat is growing rapidly, particularly for NATO members, matching the pace at which Electro Optic Systems (EOS) has established itself as a leader in hard-kill counter-drone capability. Slinger, EOS’ combat-proven C-UAS RWS, is widely regarded as one of the strongest kinetic options on the market. EOS has now broadened that capability with Apollo, a 100 kW high energy laser that made its debut to European defence audiences at DSEI in London this September.

Against this backdrop, ESD speaks with Dr Andreas Schwer, CEO of Sydney-based EO Systems (EOS), to discuss how hard-kill counter-drone technology is developing and to understand what European forces may require as they head into 2026 months and years,” he says.
