Electro Optic Systems wins US$45 million counter-drone orders

Electro Optic Systems has secured two new unconditional orders for its counter-drone technology valued at a combined US$45 million.

The primary contract is a US$42 million order for the Slinger Remote Weapon System from an established customer country in the Middle East.

The order includes the cannon-based Slinger units, cannons, platform integration, spares, and training, with delivery scheduled for 2026.

A secondary US$3 million order was secured by the company's US defense division for integration into a counter-drone weapon system for a large US contractor.

The company stated that current military conflicts in the Middle East may accelerate further opportunities for its high-energy laser and cannon-based products.
