"No one kills drones like EOS." Australian weapons maker EOS eyes production in Ukraine

Australian company Electro Optic Systems is considering localizing production in Ukraine, according to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine following negotiations with the company's top management.

"During the meeting, cooperation in defense technologies and potential collaboration between Ukraine and EOS Defence Systems were discussed. Additionally, the Australian side expressed interest in localizing production in Ukraine," the statement said.

EOS Defence Systems specializes in technologies that integrate weapon systems into a wide range of land and sea platforms. The company's products include solutions for countering unmanned aerial vehicles and ground targets.

They operate under the slogan "No one kills drones like EOS."

One of Electro Optic Systems' flagship products is the Slinger anti-drone combat module, equipped with a 30mm Bushmaster M230LF automatic cannon. The German government has purchased this system to protect IRIS-T air defense systems in Ukraine.

The company also collaborates with L3Harris on R150 gimbals, which are used in Ukraine on VAMPIRE (Vehicle Agnostic Modular Palletized ISR Rocket Equipment) anti-aircraft systems.
