ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: PRZO), an aerospace defense company specializing in smart autonomous solutions for manned and unmanned aerial systems, announced successful internal live testing of its DefendAir system. The test demonstrated the first net-based interception of a drone traveling at 70 miles per hour, simulating a high-speed hostile drone approaching ground forces. The milestone showcases the system's real-time, on-the-move protection capabilities using ParaZero's patented net-launching technology.
The DefendAir system is designed to counter fast-moving threats such as first-person view (FPV) attack drones, which have become increasingly prevalent in modern conflicts. Unlike explosive countermeasures, the non-explosive net-based system offers a safer alternative for neutralizing threats in sensitive environments. The system is available in handheld, stationary, and drone-mounted configurations, supporting layered force protection for military and security operations.
ParaZero's announcement comes amid growing demand for counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) as adversaries increasingly deploy drones for reconnaissance and attacks. The successful interception at 70 mph demonstrates DefendAir's ability to engage high-speed targets, a critical requirement for protecting ground forces and critical infrastructure. The company plans to showcase the system to potential customers in the defense sector.
ParaZero, founded in 2014 by aviation professionals and drone industry veterans, offers a portfolio of drone safety and defense solutions. In addition to DefendAir, the company's products include SafeAir, an autonomous parachute recovery system for regulatory compliance, and DropAir, a precision aerial delivery system. The company's mission is to enhance safety, scalability, and security in aerial operations.
