ASX RELEASE
NEW US RWS ORDERS AND
KOREAN HEL CONDITIONAL CONTRACT UPDATE
Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited (“EOS” or the “Company”) (ASX:EOS), is pleased to
provide the following updates.
NEW US ORDERS
EOS Defense Systems USA has been awarded two new contracts totalling US$12m
(approximately A$17m):
→ A US$5m contract to develop and deliver Remote Weapon Systems (RWS) to the U.S.
Army. This award is part of an ongoing development program with manufacturing
taking place in Huntsville, Alabama. Under this contract, EOS will deliver enhanced RWS
capability, designed specifically to meet the US Army’s operational requirements. This
work is expected to inform future production efforts for critical US Army programs.
Deliveries are expected during 2026.
→ A US$7m contract to produce Slinger RWS for Northrop Grumman’s Agnostic Gun Truck
(NG AGT), for counter-drone applications. EOS has previously produced RWS for the NG
AGT and this follow-on order is the result of an ongoing collaboration, as well as
positively evolving market demand. This contract is expected to be delivered in 2026.
CONDITIONAL KOREAN HIGH ENERGY LASER (HEL) CONTRACT
During February and March 2026, EOS continued to have constructive discussions with the
counterparty (Goldrone) regarding a conditional US$80m contract to manufacture and supply
a 100kW High Energy Laser Weapon. The contract is conditional upon the payment by Goldrone
of an initial deposit (US$18 million); the customer procuring the issuance of a Letter of Credit
for the remaining amount of the contract; and the customer inspecting and being satisfied with
EOS' Singapore Facility. More information on this contract is included in previous
announcements, including those published on 15 December 2025 and 10 February 2026.
The discussions with Goldrone during February and March 2026 included the potential to
manufacture a first unit in Korea (rather than EOS Singapore as previously planned). The
discussions have culminated in the development of a shared action plan to convert the contract
to unconditional. Based on this shared action plan, EOS now believes that the conditional
contract could be converted to an unconditional contract in Q2 2026 however there is no
certainty that this will occur.
