Sydney, Australia (ABN Newswire) - On 28 November 2016, DroneShield Ltd (ASX:DRO) ("DroneShield" or the "Company") announced the launch of its DroneGun product, a tactical drone jammer. DroneGun was launched to meet the unmet global demand for effective and cost-effective drone countermeasures.

- DroneShield sold, received full payment for, and shipped, the first DroneGun

- A large number of enquiries received in relation to DroneShield's detection product and the DroneGun countermeasure

Following the launch of the product, over the course of the one week since the launch, the Company received hundreds of product enquiries from a wide range of military, government, law enforcement, corporate and VIP potential customers from a number of countries, as well as from a number of security distributors. Within one week of the launch, the Company has now filled the first order for a DroneGun. Payment has been received (at the Company's full rate card price), and the Company has shipped the product. Given the nature of the Company and its products, the identity of the customer is confidential, however, the Company understands that the DroneGun unit shipped by the Company will be utilized for the protection of a multi-hundred million dollar maritime asset.
