By GlobalDataCommenting on the progress, DroneShield CEO Oleg Vornik said: “The US DoD continues to substantially ramp up its counter-unmanned aerial systems (UAS) work, with the recently reported decision to appoint the US Army as the DoD’s executive agent for its counter-UAS efforts.
“We are pleased to progress into the next phase of the xTechSearch process, allowing DroneShield further engagement with the US Army’s ecosystem, and growing our relationship with them towards their acquisition processes.”
US Army’s Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology is funding the xTechSearch programme.
Additionally, the xTechSearch programme provides research and infrastructure opportunities with army labs.
Vornik added: “This shortlisting continues to reinforce DroneShield’s proprietary technologies as market-leading capabilities in the counter-UAS space globally.”
In January this year, the US Army selected DroneShield for the Phase II development of xTechSearch programme.
