EOS, which designs and manufactures the Remote Weapons System (RMS), tells the Australian Stock Exchange its weapons are not being used in the Yemen war.

Both EOS and the Australian Defence Department, which issues export certificates for the weapons system, have declined to name the end-user of the RWS, citing national security and"commercial-in-confidence concerns".

"I think it's deeply troubling that remote weapons systems are being sold to the UAE when we know that the UAE has been a very prominent member of the coalition in Yemen," Elaine Pearson, Australian director of international advocacy group Human Rights Watch , told the ABC last week. The Yemen war began in 2015 when a Saudi-led military coalition intervened to support the internationally-recognised Government against Houthi rebels.
