Award-winning Sydney company DroneShield is helping to counter a rising global threat from drones amid concerns about airborne surveillance and potential terror attacks.

Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, he was spending six months of the year travelling the world to sell his company DroneShield's counter-drone technology to Australian allies.

The DroneShield technology works by first detecting a drone's signal, then disabling it and forcing it to land safely. The firm also counts the Australian government as a customer, as well as other agencies from countries across the Five Eyes intelligence alliance., with a $1.3 billion allocation over 10 years aiming to help it"identify and respond to threats in a more complex security environment".

“We picked DroneShield because of what they did last year to make their company sustainable, to keep it growing during a really difficult time for everyone in the world,” Export Council of Australia chair Dianne Tipping said.Mr Vornik said the company has grown steadily since launching five years ago.
