The current status: billions are being spent around the world on how to tackle aerial drone warfare.
The problem: how do you provide systemised training in a defence force setting for a highly randomised occurrence?
The solution: repeatable cost-effective training.
Australian company Boresight Ltd is working on an end-to-end ecosystem including target drones, a control system and training that can be easily implemented repeatedly and cost-effectively.
Across NATO militaries, Indo-Pacific partners, and beyond, the gap between the sophistication of counter-drone weapons and the quality of training to use them effectively is widening.
Governments and defence departments around the world are spending billions on missiles, lasers, kinetic weapons systems, and electronic warfare systems to defeat the growing threat of drones.
But what good is that hardware if the operators behind it have never trained against realistic drone threats?
One Australian defence company is tackling the counter-drone readiness crisis that governments and military planners have left largely unaddressed, until now.
“Every dollar spent on a counter-drone weapon system is an assumption that the person holding it knows what they’re doing. Right now, that assumption is not being tested anywhere near enough. We are equipping soldiers with the right tools and then crossing our fingers. That is not a strategy, it’s a risk that compounds every year the training gap remains unaddressed.” Justin Olde says.
Justin Olde is a military veteran with over 25 years of service in the Australian Army. He’s also the Managing Director of Canberra based Boresight Ltd.
The company's mission is direct: provide highly capable, affordable, and expendable drones as aerial targets, giving military forces the realistic, repeatable training they desperately need but have rarely been given the resources to pursue.
