In response to the escalating need for advanced counterdrone technologies across Europe, DroneShield an innovator in counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS), has announced the expansion of its European footprint. To enhance its regional capabilities, DroneShield has strategically appointed a team of seasoned C-UAS professionals, establishing a strong presence in both Denmark and Germany, complementing and supporting its existing strong European network of in-country partners.
The newly formed European team includes Hans Høyer, Asger Hviid, Oleksiy Prymin, and Red McClintock, each seasoned with deep expertise in C-UAS technologies. This multilingual team, proficient in English, German, Ukrainian, French, and Scandinavian languages, is poised to provide localised customer engagement and support, offering tailored solutions to military, security, and commercial sectors across the continent.

DroneShield’s European team has already made a significant impact, actively participating in key military and security industry events in the last several months. These include MSPO in Kielce, Poland, Eurosatory in Paris, France, Farnborough International Airshow in the UK, DALO Industry Days in Denmark, and most recently, Future Forces in Czech Republic. The European team will also be present at Euronaval in Paris, DEFEST in Tallinn, Estonia, amongst others, for the remainder of the year. Future events to meet the team and see the latest C-UAS DroneShield solutions also include Enforce Tac in Germany, Homeland Security Expo in Sweden, FEINDEF in Spain, Defence24 Days in Poland, and Damiba Partner Days in Serbia.
By attending these high-profile events, DroneShield continues to deepen its engagement with European customers, showcasing its battle-proven counterdrone solutions and establishing itself as a trusted partner in the region’s defence and security sectors.
