SYDNEY — Two years ago, Australia’s DroneShield, which builds equipment to detect and disable drones, had about 90 employees. Today, that number has jumped to 275.
Its growth from a start-up founded in 2014 to an ASX-listed company with a market cap of 1.3 billion Australian dollars ($848 million) reflects how drones have reshaped modern conflict and propelled increasing demand for counter measures.
