Under the program, DroneShield will draw on resourcing from NSW universities, as well as their own team, to design and develop real-time optical drone-detection capability using recent advancements in machine deep learning and convolutional neural networks.
The collaboration is expected to result in a market-ready product by 1Q 2020, which "further enhances" DroneShield's existing suite of technologies.
“DroneShield is pleased to continue our collaboration with the Australian and NSW governments to further strengthen our position as a leading Australian defence exporter in this highly innovative sector," DroneShield CEO Oleg Vornik said.
"This grant secures access to some of the best minds in the world, based here in Australia, to complement our best in class engineering team in continuing to stay at the forefront of the counter-drone space, as it rapidly grows.”
DIN is a university-led initiative of the NSW government and the Defence Science and Technology Group to enhance NSW defence industry capability through collaboration with government and academic research institutions.
Supported by seven leading NSW universities, DIN focuses on bringing world-class research capabilities and innovation to the defence sector, supporting the Australian defence export industry.
