DroneShield says “drone terrorism” has arrived with Venezuelan assassination attempt

6.8.2018

The era of “drone terrorism has well and truly arrived” after an apparent assassination attempt on Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro on Saturday, says Australian drone security solutions provider DroneShield.
Two drones armed with explosives detonated near President Maduro on August 4 while he was delivering a televised speech to hundreds of soldiers in Caracas, Venezuela, according to press reports.
There were no fatalities. Eight people were injured. Six people have been arrested.
The attacks ushered in a new form of political violence, said DroneShield (ASX, DRO) chief Oleg Vornik.
“Yesterday’s apparent drone assassination attempt on Venezuelan President Maduro is the first known drone attack on a head of state,” Mr Vornik said...

Mr Vornik said DroneShield was ready to deploy counter-drone solutions if and when they were needed.
“Technological progress cannot be reversed, and going forward, the security of any asset whose perimeter is protected two-dimensionally on the ground will need to be also protected in the third dimension – from attacks from the air,” he said.
“An attempted drone assassination of a sitting sovereign leader demonstrates that, sadly, the era of drone terrorism has well and truly arrived.”
Droneshield is one of about nine ASX stocks involved in the drone game.
