Electro Optic Systems (EOS) today announced Apollo as the new name for its high-energy laser weapon, launched ahead of DSEI UK.

Following the release of EOS’ half year results, CEO Dr Andreas Schwer spoke exclusively to Bloomberg: The Asia Trade.

In a world of geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing regional tensions, the ability to swiftly and accurately detect, track and defeat drones is paramount. This is the world’s first export order for a 100-kilowatt class laser defence system.

Ukrainian soldiers are putting the Australian Bushmaster to the test on the front line, where it’s become one of their most trusted vehicles. It’s used to move troops, evacuate casualties, and withstand direct hits from RPGs and mines. In the video, a soldier explains how the vehicle performs under fire and how EOS' R400 remote weapon system is helping keep crews safe in combat.

Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited (“EOS” or the “Company”) (ASX:EOS) today announces that it has secured a new order for Remote Weapon Systems (“RWS”) amounting to A$53 million. The order is from a turnkey naval shipyard related systems integrated company, and is funded by a Western European government.

The battlefield has changed – ever since the dawn of drone warfare. In just three years since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the rapid proliferation of cheap, mass-produced drones has transformed the modern battlespace, forcing militaries and defence companies to rethink doctrine and develop new solutions to counter this emerging threat.

EOS Defense Systems USA has unveiled the latest in its Remote Weapon Systems (RWS) technology during a live-fire demonstration at the Northrop Grumman Bushmaster Users Conference.

In conversation... EOS's Andreas Schwer talks to Shephard's Ben Watts about how the Australian company is shifting its strategic focus to two technologies it sees as essential for success on the modern battlefield - C-UAS and space control.

Amid a growing threat picture for land forces, the need to develop complementary air defence networks is critical. Not only must air defence systems – usually gun- or missile-based – defend against traditional air-breathing targets such as aircraft and helicopters, but contemporary conflicts have become much more complicated due to the proliferation of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV), loitering munitions, and cruise missiles.
