Presenting at AOC Asia Symposium

Tim, one of our senior EW instructors, delivered a C-UAS lecture to an incredible audience at AOC EW Asia last week. From detection and tracking to disruption and defeat, the conversation around C-UAS capabilities is more relevant than ever. The discussions, questions, and insights shared during the session were a testament to the depth of expertise and curiosity in the AOC EW community. A huge thanks to the organisers for inviting us along, and attendees for making it such a memorable experience. This export activity was supported by grant funding from the Australian Government through Austrade’s Export Market Development Grant (EMDG) program.
