We reported that Sydney based Droneshield released its anti-drone tech to the US Government yesterday and the company is out with a new media today.

The company released a new video showing deployment of system, which it states is suitable for small to medium-sized sites. The RfZero can be installed on a temporary or permanent basis, and with an Ingress Protection factor of IP67 can handle windy, wet or dusty conditions. The company states that with a single unit. “a prison or government building is alerted to drone activity in the immediate area.”
