EOS secures order for High Energy Laser Weapon System for counter-drone warfare

EOS is already a global provider of counter-drone capability using traditional kinetic weapons to bring down drones. The new high energy laser builds on these core competencies and substantially extends them.

The order is valued at €71.4 million (approximately A$125 million) and was placed by a European NATO Member State. It requires production and delivery of capability, as well as spare parts, training and documentation. The world-first export order will be fulfilled during 2025-2028 by EOS in Singapore.  

The laser system has undergone testing in close collaboration with customers. The system is mobile, for deployment on a truck. To ensure high performance, the system is supplied with algorithms, threat detection, target acquisition and beam locking systems. The system will be integrated into a multi-layered air defence system as part of the project.

EOS has created this new high energy laser capability to address the critical market need to defend against drone swarm attacks at an economical cost.
