Powerus, a U.S.-based drone and radar manufacturer, announced that it has signed a commercial contract valued at $22.3 million to provide counter‑drone technology for the protection of oil and gas infrastructure in the Middle East. The agreement calls for the deployment of networked counter‑unmanned aircraft system (C‑UAS) capabilities that will detect, track, classify and issue early warnings of aerial threats. Operators will receive a unified view of potential threats through a command‑and‑control system installed at the customer’s operations centre, enabling coordinated response to any hostile drone activity. The contract underscores Powerus’s expansion into the Middle Eastern energy sector, leveraging its integrated C‑UAS platform to safeguard critical assets.
