Electro Optic Systems (EOS), an Australian leader in drone defense technology, has secured a A$700 million contract for its MARSS drone defense system, boosting its backlog to A$1.55 billion. The company’s valuation is mainly driven by its Remote Weapon Stations business, but its laser and MARSS segments are gaining recognition due to strong growth prospects and major contracts. EOS expects to deliver 80% of its backlog within 12–24 months with a 20% EBITDA margin, supporting a robust growth trajectory. The company’s share price has increased sixfold over five years, and successful delivery of the laser contract with the Dutch army could accelerate this growth further.
