- •NZDF has contracted MyDefence for counter-drone systems worth NZ$1.96 million.

The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) has selected MyDefence's counter-drone systems to enhance its capabilities against drone threats. A NZ$1.96 million contract was signed with HighCom Technology for the supply of these systems, which include jammers and training support. This acquisition follows a similar deployment in Australia and aims to address immediate counter-drone needs, although it is not intended for use within New Zealand except for national security objectives. The systems are expected to be delivered during FY27. The NZDF's decision reflects a growing demand for effective counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) in the Indo-Pacific region. The limited capabilities of the systems acquired mean they will not provide full protection against advanced drone threats seen in conflicts like Ukraine or the Middle East.
