Countering Small UAS Threats: Australia’s Project LAND156 & DroneShield Innovations

From Wings magazine (Autumn 2025), this video explores Australia’s Project LAND156 – Counter Small UAS (C-S-UAS), aimed at neutralizing small drones (up to 25kg) on the battlefield. The Australian Defence Force (ADF) targets cost-effective solutions like DroneShield’s RfPatrol Mk 2 (4km detection) and DroneGun Mk4 (1km jamming, swarm-capable), alongside “hard kill” options like lasers and the M230 Bushmaster. Rival Anduril trials its Lattice OS system at RAAF Base Darwin. Learn how the ADF plans a baseline capability by 2025 and full rollout by 2030.
