DroneShield passes 4,000 sales mark with $8 million US order

Counter-drone business DroneShield has announced that it has passed a milestone of 4,000 systems sold worldwide, with two new standalone contracts totalling approximately $7.9 million for delivery to the U.S. Department of Defense. 

According to a statement on Wednesday from DroneShield – which announced earlier this month that it is joining the ASX200 list – it expects to deliver all equipment in Q4 2025. Cash payment for the order of handheld systems is expected in the same quarter.

“Passing 4,000 systems in service is an important milestone for our team and our customers,” said Matt McCrann, the company's US CEO.

“It underlines the performance and dependability of our solutions in the field, and the trust placed in DroneShield by those who rely on them.”

Recently, DroneShield has announced its largest single order (in June), a new civilian market Saas product (August), and a $13 million investment to triple production space at its Alexandria site (July, with expected completion in December.)

Last month, DroneShield reported a record 1H2025 revenue of $72.3 million (up 210 per cent versus the previous corresponding period), record profit before tax for the half of $5.2 million, and pipeline worth $2.33 billion (up 112 per cent versus the PCP.)

The company was established in 2014 in the United States, listed on the ASX in 2016, and is currently “predominantly Australian-owned, with approximately 20,000 shareholders and no controlling shareholder”. It has headquarters in Virginia and Sydney.
