DroneShield Joins AUKUS Export Framework, Expanding Defense Trade Opportunities
Sydney, Australia – DroneShield (ASX:DRO), a world leader in counter-drone technology, has been officially registered with both the United States and Australian governments under the AUKUS framework. This registration facilitates the export of numerous military and dual-use items, technologies, and services to the United States and the United Kingdom without the necessity for an export license.
This milestone represents a significant advancement in defense trade and collaboration among AUKUS partners. By removing licensing requirements for eligible products and technologies, this arrangement simplifies trade, lowers administrative hurdles, and accelerates the delivery of crucial capabilities to allied defense forces.
The AUKUS trilateral export agreement, effective from September 1, 2024, signifies a notable evolution in defense industry collaboration. Establishing a frictionless trade environment between Australia, the US, and the UK, this initiative not only fortifies industrial partnerships but also enhances interoperability, fostering the swift deployment of innovative defense technologies.
Now that the registration is formalized, DroneShield can fully capitalize on the advantages offered by this agreement. The abolition of export licensing requirements grants a competitive edge, streamlining regulatory processes, shortening lead times, and broadening opportunities to engage with defense and security partners across AUKUS nations. This lean approach promotes more effective collaboration on joint ventures, research projects, and advanced technological innovations.
