The product is a rifle-style handheld jammer device, highly effective at the standard frequencies of consumer and commercial drones globally. An optional GPS-jamming capability is also available to customers where lawful. (see Note below)
The product was developed in response to feedback by sophisticated end-users. The product offers a number of improvements over the first generation of DroneGun, including a substantially ruggedised design, lighter weight, and improved jamming algorithms.
Testing by Australian and United States militaries
DroneShield remains the only company in the world offering both drone detection and handheld rifle-style tactical drone countermeasures, as its own product suite. Initial units of the product have been released for immediate testing and evaluation by several branches of the United States and Australian militaries.
Peter James, Chairman of the Company, has commented "DroneGun MkII is expected to continue to position DroneShield at the cutting edge of the counterdrone industry. The Company also continues to develop other innovative products being actively sought by end users, including the DroneSentinel and DroneSentry products, with initial customer demos for DroneSentinel and DroneSentry having been scheduled for early November."

Mining exploration is a long, and incredibly complex process.
