$22.3 Million Contract Secured for Counter-Drone Tech in Middle East Oil Infrastructure

Powerus, a U.S.-based Autonomous Power Corporation, has secured a commercial contract worth approximately $22.3 million to provide counter-unmanned aircraft system technology for critical oil and gas infrastructure in the Middle East.

The agreement covers hardware, software, site activation, installation, and a 24-month integrated maintenance program. Powerus will deploy the system in phases based on the customer's operational requirements.

The networked system will give operators centralized detection, tracking, and classification of potential drone threats, with command-and-control capabilities located at the customer's operations center.

The initial focus will be on early warning, allowing personnel to assess aerial threats and make operational and safety decisions. The architecture has also been designed to accommodate Powerus' Guardian interceptor technology in the future, potentially expanding the system from detection and warning toward a broader counter-UAS capability.
