Slinger (weapon system)

Slinger is an anti-drone weapon system developed by Electro Optic Systems (EOS) of Symonston, Australia. It was introduced in May 2023.[1] It consists of M230LF autocannon with stabilizer, pointer with a camera, wind sensor, and high explosive-proximity fuze rounds.

In September 2023 it was announced that 160 Slingers were to be provided to Ukraine by EOS for use in that country's defence against the ongoing invasion by Russia.[2]
