The system will provide a unified operational picture through command and control capabilities located at the customer\u2019s operations center, allowing operators to identify, track and assess potential unmanned aerial threats across their operating environment.<\/p>\n<p>The identity of the contracting customer, specific deployment locations, individual facilities and operational configurations are not being disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>The initial deployment is focused on providing operators with early awareness of potential unmanned aerial threats and the information needed to make timely operational and safety decisions for their personnel. The system architecture is designed to support the further integration of Powerus\u2019 Guardian interceptor technology, providing a pathway to expand the customer\u2019s counter-UAS capabilities as operational requirements evolve.<\/p>\n<p>The agreement reflects growing commercial demand globally for American counter-drone technology to protect critical energy infrastructure in complex operating environments. Middle East remains an important energy market for international operators and an area of significant commercial importance to U.S. oil and energy interests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis commercial contract reflects the direction we believe the counter-drone market is heading \u2014 toward integrated, networked protection of critical oil and gas infrastructure,\u201d said Brett Velicovich, Co-founder and President of Powerus. \u201cWe are starting with the capabilities our customer needs today while providing an architecture that can expand as the threat and operational requirements evolve. Powerus is bringing U.S.-based engineering, manufacturing and technology to help protect the operations that power that infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The contract further expands Powerus\u2019s commercial work with international energy operators and strengthens the company\u2019s position in the growing market for counter-UAS protection of critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>ABOUT POWERUS<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Powerus (Autonomous Power Corporation) builds and scales unified autonomous systems designed to move, protect, and sustain critical assets in high-risk environments, with capabilities spanning heavy-lift platforms, autonomous air systems, autonomous maritime systems, mission systems, training and support, and U.S.-based manufacturing. Powerus operates through its subsidiaries, each a Powerus company.
