Shephard Media In Conversation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conversation... EOS's Andreas Schwer talks to Shephard's Ben Watts about how the Australian company is shifting its strategic focus to two technologies it sees as essential for success on the modern battlefield - C-UAS and space control.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australian technology manufacturer Electro Optic Systems (EOS) has positioned itself at the forefront of emerging defence technologies, focusing on two critical areas: counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) and space control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to Shephard at IDEX 2025, EOS CEO Andreas Schwer outlined how battlefield dynamics were evolving and why traditional defence strategies were no longer viable in an era of drone swarms and contested orbital operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing battlespace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rapid proliferation of drones has reshaped modern warfare, with small, commercially available UAVs becoming a persistent and cost-effective threat on the battlefield. Schwer explained how industry demand for C-UAS solutions has been reinvigorated by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, noting that \u201cnew threats are defined by miniaturised drones that can be mass-produced by almost anyone, making traditional missile-based interception financially unviable\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He instead emphasised the need for specialist kinetic-kill solutions. \u201cShooting down a US$2,000 drone with a $500,000 missile simply doesn\u2019t make sense,\u201d he remarked. \u201cOur clients are looking for highly precise, affordable alternatives, and that\u2019s where our technology comes in. Our systems offer 30% greater accuracy than competitors, which is critical when engaging fast-moving drones with extremely short windows of opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From electromagnetic to kinetic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While electronic warfare (EW) measures such as jamming and spoofing were once effective against drone threats, adversaries have adapted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany modern drones are now hardened against electromagnetic interference,\u201d Schwer noted. \u201cThey rely on pre-programmed flight paths and inertial navigation systems instead of GPS, making them impervious to traditional countermeasures. The only viable solution is a hard-kill approach \u2013 either kinetic weaponry or high-energy lasers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EOS is investing in both. \u201cLaser weapons offer advantages that conventional systems cannot match,\u201d Schwer explained. \u201cThey provide hemispherical coverage and can engage loitering munitions at vertical angles \u2013 something kinetic solutions struggle with. Lasers, however, require significant investment and our priority remains delivering immediate, field-ready kinetic solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scaling C-UAS\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fielding an effective C-UAS strategy depends on the specific asset being protected. \u201cFor critical infrastructure \u2013 power stations, airports and military bases \u2013 containerised solutions connected to local power grids are ideal,\u201d Schwer said. \u201cOn the battlefield, protection must be integrated directly onto platforms such as armoured vehicles and logistics trucks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EOS has already seen interest in this approach. \u201cThe German Army has launched a tender to equip 3,000 logistics trucks with C-UAS systems,\u201d Schwer revealed. \u201cThis is a significant shift \u2013 low-value logistics vehicles were never primary targets before, but with today\u2019s drone threats, even a $200,000 truck is a viable target. We anticipate that other NATO forces, including the UK and Australia, will follow Germany\u2019s lead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role of space control<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside C-UAS, EOS is also focusing on space control, as this domain is becoming increasingly critical in modern warfare. \u201cThere is now a global consensus that future wars will be decided in space,\u201d Schwer asserted. \u201cThe party that can engage against an adversary\u2019s communication, navigation and surveillance satellites first will hold a decisive advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that EOS\u2019s space control strategy does not involve deploying weapons in orbit but instead leverages ground-based systems to target space assets. \u201cUsing high-energy lasers, we can temporarily or permanently disable sensors or even a satellite itself from the ground \u2013 without violating space treaties,\u201d he said. \u201cThis approach is far more practical and avoids the complexities of space-based weaponisation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridging military and commercial\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, EOS\u2019s space capabilities extend beyond purely military applications. \u201cWe can use our laser systems to move space debris, preventing collisions in orbit,\u201d Schwer noted. \u201cThis has significant commercial potential. We can also use photonic pressure to nudge space debris or satellites at the end of their service lives, altering their orbits without physical contact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, Schwer admitted that awareness of these capabilities remains limited. \u201cMany defence stakeholders still assume that space control requires weapons in orbit,\u201d he said. \u201cEducating clients about what\u2019s possible from the ground is a key priority for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sensor and shooter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

EOS\u2019s latest product, the R500 remote weapon system, reflects this shift toward next-generation solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe designed the R500 to provide maximum firepower in a lightweight, modular system,\u201d Schwer explained. \u201cIt has over twice the ammunition capacity of its predecessor and can integrate various effectors, including loitering munitions and low-power lasers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucially, the R500 also functions as an autonomous sensor node. \u201cWith 20 times the computing power of previous systems, it can form a self-orchestrating mesh network, providing hemispherical coverage and protection against drone attacks,\u201d Schwer said. \u201cThis allows multiple units to coordinate their defence without needing a separate command-and-control vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schwer sees this as a stepping stone toward future battlefield autonomy. \u201cOver time, our systems will move beyond being just weapon stations,\u201d he predicted. \u201cThey will become modular fully autonomous platforms capable of hosting a wide range of effectors, integrating seamlessly into modern multi-domain operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The path ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With kinetic C-UAS solutions rapidly deploying and space control gaining traction, EOS sees itself as playing a key role in shaping the future of warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe demand for effective, scalable counter-drone systems and space control technologies is only growing,\u201d Schwer concluded. \u201cOur focus is on delivering solutions that are both operationally effective and financially sustainable \u2013 because that\u2019s what modern defence requires.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
