Boresight drone startup targets global market from Townsville baseUpdated

Boresight, a Townsville-based drone technology company, has secured funding to expand production of low-cost target drones and counter-drone training services as it pursues global growth. The move positions the company within Townsville's growing defence and technology ecosystem, which has become increasingly important to the city's economic diversification.

The funding injection reflects investor confidence in the company's technology and market opportunity. Counter-drone and target drone systems are increasingly sought by defence forces, law enforcement and security agencies worldwide, creating a substantial addressable market for innovative Australian suppliers.

For Townsville, Boresight's expansion reinforces the city's credentials as a defence technology hub. Alongside established defence contractors and the Australian Defence Force's significant local presence, the growth of homegrown technology companies like Boresight demonstrates how the city is attracting innovation and high-skill employment in emerging sectors beyond traditional defence manufacturing.
