Shares in technology company Droneshield have been placed in a trading halt ahead of a capital raising announcement.

Droneshield, which last traded at 33 cents a share, develops technology that detects and interferes with unauthorised drones.

It recently sold its rifle-style handheld device called DroneGun to a G7 country.

DroneGun jams communications between a drone and its pilot and is marketed by the company as being able to combat the increasing use of drones in terrorism.

The company's shares will remain in a trading halt until Thursday at the latest or when the capital raising proposal is announced if earlier.
