• DroneSentry-C2 Enterprise (C2E) enables strategic-level command for national-scale counter-drone operations
• First C2E paid deployment going to an existing customer on the Eastern NATO flank in Europe in early 2026
• SaaS-enabled solution centralises oversight, multi-site integration, and resilience for military and critical infrastructure customers

DroneShield Limited (ASX:DRO) has announced the launch of DroneSentry-C2 Enterprise (C2E), a new software platform designed to provide strategic-level command and control for large-scale and distributed counter-drone operations. C2E connects multiple DroneSentry-C2 solutions across geographically dispersed sites, such as military installations, airports, energy infrastructure, and data centres, into one operational network. From this environment, authorised users can centrally manage drone alerts, monitor operational readiness, verify threats through live camera feeds, and access granular control of local operations. By consolidating multi-site operations, C2E enables faster decision-making, improved coordination, and enhanced resilience across national-level security networks. The C2E platform incorporates DroneShield's ThreatAI software, providing intelligent prioritisation of drone activity and improving operator confidence in dynamic conditions. DroneShield has received the first order of its C2E with a European multi-site customer at the European Eastern NATO flank, to be deployed over an existing and growing cluster of its DroneSentry solutions in that area in early 2026, marking an important step in scaling counter-drone operations to meet the demands of the military industrial base and national security stakeholders.

As the drone technology continues to evolve, there is an increasing focus on software, starting at the embedded level, site level, and enterprise level. C2E represents the last part of this software strategy, which together with the other layers, will provide maximum value to DroneShield's customers and assist in driving the company's goal of getting to 30-40% of its revenue from SaaS over the medium term.
