Andreas Schwer, CEO of Electro Optic Systems, and Shawn Baerlocher, CEO of EOS Defense Systems USA, provide insights into the technology on show at AUSA 2024, including an update on our remote weapon systems—Slinger and the R800—and our high-energy laser weapon.
EOS Defense Systems, through its Australian and US companies, is looking to expand its CUAS capability as more of its systems are set to enter Ukraine. Its inclusion on a new Leonardo DRS system has also been outlined.
In a newly released video compilation, the Ukrainian Navy highlights the success of its VAMPIRE Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) system in countering Russian attack drones.
At Land Forces 2024, Electro Optic Systems (EOS) made a powerful statement, showcasing its cutting-edge Australian-made defence technologies. The spotlight was on the Slinger system, alongside the R400 Marine and R800 remote weapon systems. Attendees were also immersed in an Augmented Reality battlefield, giving them a firsthand look at EOS’ innovations in Space Domain Awareness and SATCOM-on-the-move.
The land autonomous systems and teaming demonstration showcased their collaboration with Australian industry, the Robotics and Autonomous Systems Implementation and Coordination Office (RICO) and the Army’s Battle Lab in autonomous command-and-control systems, robots, uncrewed autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aerial systems and more.
Russia’s sudden invasion of Ukraine in 2022 triggered the rapid development of counter-drone technologies. How can military leaders address the issues of dealing with large numbers of cheaply built drones on the battlefield?
Australian company Electro Optic Systems (EOS) is negotiating the sale of 50-100kW High Energy Laser (HEL) weapon systems to two undisclosed international clients in what it believes will be the first worldwide export sales of HEL systems of that power.
Our thanks to Leonardo for featuring EOS' world-leading counter-drone system, Slinger, as part of their Falcon Shield CUAS concept at this year’s DVD2024, displayed on a Mastiff, the British Army's protected patrol vehicle.
Congratulations to the Australian Army Drone Racing Team, champions of the Military International Drone Racing Tournament (MIDRT), held in London on 18-19 September 2024.
This year's event featured 17 nations competing in high-speed drone races using First-Person View (FPV) technology
Watch Dr Andreas Schwer in this exclusive interview with Australian Defence Magazine as he shares insights into EOS' cutting-edge high-energy laser systems, now entering production. He also explores the EOS family of remote weapon systems, including the world-leading Slinger counter-drone system and the heavy-hitting R800, equipped with laser dazzling technology
