Hear from EOS CEO Dr Andreas Schwer and CFO Clive Cuthell as they discuss EOS’ recent €71.4 million order for a drone defence system based on 100kW laser technology, the market opportunity, and why this capability is a critical layer in counter-drone defence.

Ausbiz Small Caps Interview with Dr Andreas Schwer, CEO, Electro Optic Systems Key points: Electro Optic Systems (ASX:EOS) has achieved a significant milestone, securing a

Hailed as a “groundbreaking deal”, Sam Clench of news.com.au covers EOS’ contract with a European NATO member state for the world’s first export order of

In a world of geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing regional tensions, the ability to swiftly and accurately detect, track and defeat drones is paramount. This is the world’s first export order for a 100-kilowatt class laser defence system.

EOS is already an established global leader in counter-drone capability using kinetic weapons and missiles to bring down drones. The high-power laser builds on these core competencies and substantially extends them. Story by Brielle Burns.

The new laser counter-drone capability was developed by EOS to address the urgent market need and emerging strategic requirement to defend against drone swarm attacks at an economical cost. This is the world’s first export order for a 100-kilowatt class laser defence system.

EOS’ counter-drone weapon system, Slinger, featured at the UK Ministry of Defence’s C-UAS Expo on Thorney Island on 17 July. Hosted by 16 Regiment Royal Artillery, the event brought together Defence stakeholders from the British Army, Royal Navy and RAF to explore the UK’s evolving approach to drone threats.

Drones are now easier to operate and far more cost-effective. This accessibility allows any individual or organisation to acquire, or even build their own drones. So how do we respond to this modern threat on the battlefield? Soldier Modernisation spoke with Australian company Electro Optic Systems (EOS) about its evolving approach to drone defence, including battle-proven kinetic platforms like Slinger and scalable directed energy weapons.

Ukrainian soldiers are putting the Australian Bushmaster to the test on the front line, where it’s become one of their most trusted vehicles. It’s used to move troops, evacuate casualties, and withstand direct hits from RPGs and mines. In the video, a soldier explains how the vehicle performs under fire and how EOS' R400 remote weapon system is helping keep crews safe in combat.

The latest issue of Asian Military Review explores how militaries around the world are responding to the growing threat of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), with a focus on counter-UAS (C-UAS) technologies being developed and fielded across the Asia-Pacific. EOS is highlighted as a key Australian innovator in this space.
