On May 29, 2026 Colonel Monchai Duangpanya, Deputy Director of the Army Research and Development Center, along with his team from the Army Research and Development Center, observed live-fire testing of a turret designed for anti-unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as part of a research and development project led by Associate Professor Dr. Chana Rakshiri and a research team from Kasetsart University. The testing took place at the Prem Tinsulanonda Tank and Artillery Firing Range, Cavalry Center, Saraburi Province.
This test involved firing live ammunition to test the turret and fire control system, evaluate deviations and projectile trajectories. The test results were satisfactory and achieved the set objectives.
The research and development project for a turret to be used in countering unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), a collaboration between the Army Research and Development Office (ARDO) of the Royal Thai Army and Kasetsart University, has made significant progress with the latest live-fire testing.
The installation of the M2 .50 caliber heavy machine gun, along with a Remotely Controlled Weapon System (RCWS) and Fire Control System (FCS), took place at the Prem Tinsulanonda Tank Firing Range, Cavalry Center, Adisorn Camp, Saraburi Province on May 29, 2026.
This is a continuation of the research and development project to maintain and enhance the performance of the fire control system for the Bofors 40mm L/70 anti-aircraft gun. It represents another step in Thailand's self-reliance in national defense to counter evolving threats from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

EOS will Supply Counter-UAV Systems to the Middle East and US
31 Maret 2026
SIlinger Remote Weapon System (“RWS”) (photo: EOS)Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited (“EOS” or the “Company”) (ASX:EOS), is pleased to announce that is has secured two new unconditional orders for counter-drone systems with a total value of US$45m (approx. A$64m).
Middle East Slinger Order (US$42m or A$59m)
EOS has secured a US$42m order for its Slinger Remote Weapon System (“RWS”). The order includes the Slinger RWS, cannons, platform integration, spares, training and other supplies.
EOS understands that the system is intended to strengthen defence systems in light of escalating regional conflicts in the Middle East.
This sale is to an established customer country in the Middle East and the customer is a large, established defence prime contractor with several large-scale government and export contracts. The customer has requested that EOS do not disclose the customer identity due to national security considerations.
The order is subject to customary terms and requires export approvals to be obtained in Australia and the United States. The systems are expected to be manufactured in Australia and delivered during 2026. This delivery program may require EOS to re-assess production schedules during 2026 and 2027.
The EOS Slinger RWS is EOS’ market leading counter-drone cannon-based defence system.
US Order (US$3m or A$5m)
In recent days EOS Defense Systems USA has secured orders totalling US$3m (approx. A$5m) for integration into a counter-drone weapon system. Due to the sensitive nature of the order, the customer has requested that the final product, the customer and the end-user not be named. The customer is a large established US Defence contractor. The product will be manufactured in Australia and the order is expected to be fulfilled during 2026.
Current Conflict in the Middle East
During March 2026 EOS has continued discussions with several Middle Eastern governments and related representatives regarding the provisions of advanced counter-drone systems.
Those systems include the established cannon-based Slinger RWS product; our High-Energy Laser Weapon APOLLO product range; and other related products for infrastructure protection.
EOS views that the current military conflict may accelerate those opportunities albeit there is no guarantee that any additional orders will be secured.
This document was authorised for release by the Garry Hounsell, (Chairman of the Board of Directors) and David Black (Chairman Audit & Risk Committee).

Singapore dan Epirus Sepakat untuk Mempelajari Kemampuan Counter-UAS dengan High-Power Microwave

SINGAPORE - Defense Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) Singapore dan Epirus yang berbasis di AS telah menandatangani nota kesepahaman untuk memajukan kemampuan anti-drone gelombang mikro daya tinggi/high-power microwave (HPM).
Pakta ini menandai kolaborasi pertama Epirus di kawasan Asia-Pasifik setelah serangkaian program dengan militer AS.
Berdasarkan perjanjian tersebut, para mitra akan berkolaborasi dalam penelitian, pengujian, dan evaluasi teknologi HPM terhadap ancaman drone canggih dalam berbagai skenario penyebaran. Kedua pihak mengatakan upaya tersebut akan mencakup pengujian terhadap drone yang dipandu serat optik dan yang didukung kecerdasan buatan, yang semakin dirancang untuk menghindari pengacauan frekuensi radio konvensional dan sistem peperangan elektronik.
DSTA menambahkan bahwa teknologi tersebut dapat digunakan untuk “memperkuat kemampuan Singapore dalam penanggulangan elektronik dan perlindungan aset penting.”
Epirus memproduksi susunan HPM berbasis galium nitrida Leonidas, yang dipilih oleh Angkatan Darat AS untuk program Kemampuan Perlindungan Tembakan Tidak Langsung - Gelombang Mikro Daya Tinggi/Indirect Fire Protection Capability-High Power Microwave. Perusahaan ini juga bermitra dengan General Dynamics Land Systems untuk mengintegrasikan Leonidas ke platform bergerak berbasis kendaraan lapis baja Stryker 8x8.
Meskipun parameter kinerja terperinci dari sistem Leonidas sebagian besar masih dirahasiakan, Epirus mengungkapkan bahwa pada Agustus 2025 sistem tersebut menunjukkan kemampuan untuk mengalahkan 49 drone dalam satu serangan gelombang mikro berenergi tinggi. Perusahaan ini juga sedang mengembangkan varian pod yang lebih kecil yang dirancang untuk diintegrasikan ke sistem pesawat tanpa awak (UAS), menyediakan opsi anti-drone HPM udara ketinggian rendah.
Kolaborasi ini terjadi di tengah meningkatnya kekhawatiran atas proliferasi UAS kecil, otonom, dan berkemampuan kawanan/berkelompok/swarm di kawasan Asia-Pasifik, khususnya yang menggunakan metode panduan non-tradisional yang mengurangi kerentanan terhadap serangan elektronik.
Waktu penandatanganan perjanjian ini menyusul akuisisi baru-baru ini oleh Singapore atas sejumlah kendaraan tempur infanteri beroda Terrex s5 8 x 8 dari ST Engineering. Kementerian Pertahanan mengatakan kendaraan tersebut—yang diberi nama Titan—akan dipersenjatai dengan meriam 30mm dan dilengkapi dengan fitur anti-UAS, yang menunjukkan dorongan yang lebih luas untuk mengintegrasikan pertahanan udara berlapis dan kemampuan anti-drone di tingkat taktis.
