Drones & Counter-Drone Warfare
Global demand for drones and 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 & less effective - counterdrone (C-UAS) 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 move to “directed energy”
solutions which are likely to prove even more economical on a
per-shot basis
In the near future, drone swarms are expected to become a significant threat
that overwhelm traditional defences
14
Defending against the drone threat
Effective counter-drone systems need to include comprehensive sensors and effectors, and intelligent C2 systems

Drone Detection and Identification
In a world of every increasing drone swarms, the ability to swiftly and accurately detect, track and identify drones is paramount
In a process named “sensor fusion”, data from multiples sensors are fed into neural networks which have been trained to discriminate between benign objects
e.g. birds and adversarial objects e.g. drones. Once a drone is detected the system can then also determine its attributes e.g. range, lethality

Product Development – Software and AI Opportunity
EOS is focused on advanced software solutions as part of our emphasis on counter-drone opportunities
Implications for EOS
•
EOS expects 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
AI will become a critical differentiator in counter-drone solutions

High Energy Laser Weapons - Background
The US Government spends >US$1bn per annum on developing high energy laser weapon technology
• Emerging and urgent market need for laser-based drone, rocket, artillery,
mortar, air and missile defence
• The rapid proliferation of drones and other unmanned warfighting systems
has created:
• Significant new market for affordable counter-drone capabilities
• To protect military assets from these low-cost asymmetric threats.
• High energy laser weapons emerging for defending against large numbers
of inexpensive drones due to:
• Ability to engage targets instantly (at the speed of light) with high
precision, limiting collateral damage
• Unlimited ammunition magazines based on power supply
• Low cost per shot
• Many governments and defence contractors are reviewing system
development opportunities
