EOS Defence Systems
EOS Defence Systems is the defence division of Electro Optic Systems and one of Australia’s largest defence export companies.
When the first shot matters, EOS’ innovative on-the-move firepower systems give the tactical edge for success on the modern battlefield.
We specialise in advanced technologies that enable the integration of weapon systems onto a diverse range of platforms used in both land and maritime domains. Our products include high-energy laser weapons, combat and force protection systems, as well as next-generation solutions for countering unmanned aerial systems (CUAS) and lethality systems for unmanned ground vehicles (UGV).
Driven by 40 years of innovation, precision and performance, EOS is world leader in developing advanced products and services for the global defence, space and communications domains. Our core technologies include advanced optical and laser assemblies, thermal imagers, day cameras, gimbal units, laser rangefinders, satcom-on-the-move terminals, satellite transceivers, and microwave subsystems.

Counter UAS
EOS’ counter-drone systems are flexible and can be customised to meet the demands of military operations and the security requirements of critical infrastructure. They offer lightweight kinetic options and a layered lethality solution, including soft kill, kinetic, and directed energy effectors.
SLINGER: Lightweight counter-drone lethality incorporating a radar, a 30mm cannon with specialised ammunition, and EOS proprietary stabilisation and pointing technology
TITANIS: Fully integrated, layered counter-drone system with soft, hard and high energy laser kill capabilities.
High Energy Laser Weapon
Harnessing advanced technology, EOS' High Energy Laser (HEL) weapon ensures swift and decisive action against UAS threats, safeguarding critical assets with unwavering precision.
The HEL weapon has been developed as a component of the EOS Titanis counter-UAS system, with its primary mission to effectively disable UAS in Groups 1, 2, and 3, while also neutralising UAS sensors from extended ranges.
The core power source of the HEL weapon is a formidable laser, capable of delivering exceptional energy levels up to 54kW, depending on the specific application requirements. To ensure uncompromising performance, it is supplied with radar and infrared threat detection, fast-cueing algorithms, target acquisition and beam locking, and safety systems.
The weapon can be supplied with 100–500 stowed engagements or operated continuously from external electrical power; there is no limit to the ON time.
The HEL weapon acts as a valuable complement to kinetic effectors such as guns and cannons, establishing a comprehensive defence system that enhances overall effectiveness and mitigates concerns of collateral damage that may arise from projectiles. This integrated approach provides unparalleled protection against UAS threats.
The weapon can be made operational rapidly after transport, with on-site setup times of around three hours for experienced crews.
