U.S. Companies Win Anti-Drone Orders to Provide Technical Protection for Middle Eastern Energy Facilities
On the 20th, American drone manufacturer Autonomous Expert Company announced that it has received a commercial contract worth approximately $22.3 million, which involves providing anti-drone technology to protect oil and gas facilities in the Middle East. However, the company did not disclose details such as the identity of the client or the deployment locations of the anti-drone systems.
It is reported that Autonomous Expert Company specializes in defense and infrastructure protection systems, including air and maritime equipment and related technical support. According to the contract, once the anti-drone system provided by the company is deployed, it will be able to detect and track targets in the airspace and assess the threat level of drones, with data aggregated to the client's central control hub to generate a unified air situation map, helping operators grasp aerial dynamics.
According to Autonomous Expert Company, the system is designed to be integrated with the company's developed "Guardian" drone interceptor in the future, allowing it to go beyond simple detection and warning functions in the event of a "threat escalation." Company co-founder and president Brett Velikovich stated that this commercial contract confirms the company's anticipated direction for the development of the anti-drone market, which focuses on creating an "integrated and networked protection system for critical oil and gas facilities."
