PMT Security has formed a strategic partnership with DroneShield, a global leader in counter-drone and electronic warfare technology. The collaboration will expand PMT Security’s portfolio to include advanced counter-drone capabilities, enhancing the protection of government agencies, correctional facilities, critical infrastructure and the like, across Australia.
Meeting New Security Challenges
The rapid rise of drone technology has created unprecedented opportunities – and risks – for Australian organisations. Unmanned aerial vehicles are increasingly being misused for illicit surveillance, delivering contraband to correctional facilities, and potential disruptions to critical operations. Corrections authorities have reported attempted drone deliveries of drugs and weapons, while government and infrastructure operators face growing exposure to espionage and sabotage attempts via aerial platforms.
Recognising these evolving risks, PMT Security has joined forces with DroneShield to provide end-to-end solutions that integrate drone detection and mitigation into its comprehensive security offering. The partnership will enable organisations to take a proactive stance against aerial threats.
Enhancing PMT Security’s Capabilities
Under the partnership, PMT Security will incorporate DroneShield’s award-winning suite of counter-drone technologies, including radar, radiofrequency, acoustic and optical detection systems, into its security solutions. DroneShield’s proprietary artificial intelligence engine enables real-time identification of drone activity, providing operators with early warning, situational awareness, and escalation pathways.
Mitigation tools complement PMT Security’s existing capabilities in access control, perimeter protection, video analytics, and communications. This creates a layered defence approach tailored to the unique needs of high-risk environments such as correctional facilities, defence bases, airports, ports, utilities, and large-scale public venues.
“Drone incursions represent one of the most dynamic and fast-evolving threats facing our clients,” said Adrian Smith, CEO of PMT Security. “By partnering with DroneShield, we can ensure government agencies and critical infrastructure operators have access to the most advanced and proven counter-drone systems available. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver innovative, integrated security solutions that keep Australians safe.”
A Unified Approach to Security
PMT Security has a track record of delivering customised solutions that integrate physical, electronic, and communications security. The addition of DroneShield’s counter-drone technology represents a significant extension of this strategy, providing clients with a unified approach to threat management.
The collaboration reflects growing demand for integrated, multi-layered security strategies that can adapt to fast-changing risk environments.
Looking Ahead
As drone technology continues to advance, security providers must keep pace with both innovation and regulation. The PMT Security/DroneShield partnership ensures Australian organisations benefit from homegrown expertise and global best practice in counter-drone security.
“Critical infrastructure and high-risk facilities are at the frontline of Australia’s resilience,” added Smith. “By combining PMT Security’s national footprint and expertise with DroneShield’s cutting-edge technology, we are setting a new standard for how organisations can safeguard their people, assets, and operations against tomorrow’s threats.”
