Media Release
Sydney, Australia | November 2024 – Advent Atum Pty Ltd and Gnizdo Ltd are proud to announce a mutual distribution agreement that will expand the reach of advanced drone detection and fire control systems to key regions.
This partnership establishes Advent Atum as the distributor for Gnizdo’s soldier portable Sugar drone detection system in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, while Gnizdo will lead the distribution of Advent Atum’s flagship HORAS TDE intelligent fire control system in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine.
Expanding Advanced Drone Detection into APAC
The soldier portable Sugar system, Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS), developed by Drone Spices and produced by Gnizdo, is a battle-tested drone detection technology, renowned for its precision and ease of deployment. Compact and adaptable, it has been instrumental in countering drone threats in active conflict zones. With this agreement, Advent Atum will introduce Sugar to the APAC region, enhancing regional capabilities to protect military installations, secure borders, and defend critical infrastructure against UAV intrusions.
Bringing HORAS TDE to Eastern Europe
HORAS TDE (Target Detection and Engagement), Advent Atum’s flagship system, integrates intelligent fire control with diverse military platforms, including anti-aircraft guns, artillery, and remote weapon stations. Designed for dynamic battlefield conditions, HORAS TDE offers C2, autonomous target tracking, ballistic computation, and seamless integration with advanced battle management systems. Gnizdo will distribute HORAS TDE and other products across Eastern Europe, with a specific focus on Ukrainian units in need of upgrading their air defences or remote weapons platforms, empowering regional forces to counter sophisticated and evolving threats effectively.
