Students from One Giant Leap Australia Foundation (OGL) recently travelled to Space Camp USA in Huntsville, Alabama, with support from Electro Optic Systems (EOS). The experience included immersive astronaut training, STEM activities, and visits to iconic locations such as the US Space & Rocket Center and the Saturn V rocket.

Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have fundamentally altered modern warfare. The rise of drones, particularly small, commercially available UAS, has placed immense pressure on defence forces worldwide. Australia is no exception. With UAS technology advancing rapidly, the challenge is clear: Australia’s defence sector must deliver cutting-edge counter-UAS (C-UAS) solutions at a pace that matches this evolving threat.
In the AUSA Defense News Show Daily, Shawn shares insights on EOS's leading-edge precision and competitive strengths, explores the versatile capabilities of the Slinger system, and discusses the broader range of RWS solutions. He also outlines upcoming innovations and EOS' strategy for future growth in the defense landscape.
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?
