DroneShield achieves a spot on the ASX200

Counter-drone business DroneShield has reached another milestone, joining the ranks of the S&P/ASX 200 Index.

According to a statement from the company on Monday morning, the inclusion in the index is effective prior to market open on September 22, and “marks DroneShield’s continued rise as a global defence technology leader”. 

It places the company as one of the most valuable 200 ASX-listed companies by market capitalisation, with the S&P/ASX 200 Index representing approximately 89 per cent of the Australian equity market by market capitalisation (at August 31.)

CEO Oleg Vornik said: “This achievement reflects the strength of our business, the global demand for our counter-drone technology, and the strong support of our shareholders. 

“We believe this milestone will further enhance our visibility with institutional domestic and overseas  investors and strengthen our platform for continued growth.”

Recently, DroneShield has announced its largest single order (in June), a new civilian market Saas product (August), and a $13 million investment to triple production space at its Alexandria site (July, with expected completion in December.)

Last month, DroneShield reported a record 1H2025 revenue of $72.3 million (up 210 per cent versus the previous corresponding period), record profit before tax for the half of $5.2 million, and pipeline worth $2.33 billion (up 112 per cent versus the PCP.)

The company was established in 2014 in the United States, listed on the ASX in 2016, and is currently “predominantly Australian-owned, with approximately 20,000 shareholders and no controlling shareholder”. It has headquarters in Virginia and Sydney.
