Australian firm DroneShield and Denmark-based Terma have signed an agreement to cooperate on developing integrated counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) capabilities.
The deal establishes a framework for testing and aligning their respective technologies, with a focus on interoperability and joint deployment.
Both companies bring existing systems to the partnership, including AI-based drone detection, electronic warfare tools, and command-and-control software.
Moreover, the collaboration is expected to support coordinated market activities and deliver integrated solutions that can be incorporated into existing air defense structures.
Target regions include Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific, where demand for counter-drone systems continues to grow.
This development follows the recent opening of DroneShield’s new European headquarters in Amsterdam, establishing a regional base for its C-UAS operations.
The facility is intended to serve as a hub for activities across the EU and NATO markets, including a center for counter-drone technologies.
C-UAS Capabilities
The cooperation focuses on layered C-UAS architectures, in which multiple detection and response systems are combined to address different threat types.
This approach allows operators to select sensors and countermeasures suited to specific operational environments.
A key element is AI-enabled sensor fusion, which combines data from multiple detection systems to improve the accuracy of identifying and classifying aerial threats.
This is intended to enhance situational awareness and support faster operational decision-making.
Through the partnership, the companies aim to integrate their technologies into deployable configurations that can be adapted to evolving threat conditions and scaled across different operational contexts.
