Market Conditions

challenging defence
forces

Drones and Counter-Drone Warfare
Global demand for counter-drone solutions is growing rapidly
•
The rise of drones in modern warfare in recent years is well documented –
media attention is expected to continue
•
Low Cost - Drones provide both state and non-state actors the opportunity
to disrupt traditionally more powerful opponents
•
Autonomous “swarms” of drones in future will provide militaries with a
highly adaptable and potentially decisive tool on the battlefield
•
Existing solutions are expensive and less effective - counter-drone (CUAS) solutions are either highly costly i.e. missile-based defences or easily
thwarted i.e. electronic warfare
•
“Hard-kill” or “kinetic” counter-drone solutions, like EOS’ Slinger
product, are both economical and highly-effective
•
In the future militaries will likely look to “directed energy” solutions which are
likely to prove even more economical on a per-shot basis
10
EOS is focused on growing its order book
Growing the order book continues to be our key focus; several opportunities are developing positively
Markets
• Global military spending
remains strong
• Enduring thematic drivers:
• Geopolitical tensions
• Technological shifts
Products
Sales & Marketing
• Recent launch of the R500, the
next-gen successor to the
renowned R400
• Step-change in sales
capabilities installed during
2024
• Commenced sales of new
container-based RWS
• Strong focus on Europe
• Significant focus on improving
software and AI capability
across the product range
• Increased investment in
marketing with trade shows
and demonstrations
Order Book
• Contract backlog of $136m at
Dec 24, (excl. EM Solutions)
• EOS is working to grow the
order book over the forward
period
Traditional sales lead times are 1-3 years - several opportunities continue to develop positively
11
Product Development – Software and AI Opportunity
EOS is focused on advanced software solutions as part of our emphasis on counter-drone opportunities
Context
•
•
•
Drone swarms are becoming more numerous and autonomous
There is an urgent need for capable counter-measures
AI is a critical tool to better detect, identify and track drones as well as
provide decision-support to operators
Implications for EOS
•
•
•
•
•
EOS expects expect smaller, more distributed command and control
systems (C2) to continue emerging, providing more resilience and faster
decisions
AI-driven software and C2 will become a key differentiator
EOS’ products currently use market-leading software.
In order to maintain this leadership position, EOS will continue to invest
in software and AI capability
EOS is exploring multiple C2/software growth opportunities:
•
•
Organic - develop more in-house capability
Inorganic - acquire or partner with market leading expertise
12
Product Development – R500
EOS aims to maintain its global product leadership by developing this product in close collaboration with its customers
Context
•
•
•
EOS products consistently demonstrate greater accuracy than competitors
We remain committed to being the global product leader
The R500 RWS was launched in Feb 2025 at IDEX in Abu Dhabi
Planned Features
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Increased lethality
Dual-feed cannon and larger ammunition capacity
Dual-weapon capability
High elevation for CUAS applications
