Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP) has launched WrapShield, an autonomous defense and public safety platform designed to unify threat detection, AI-assisted decision support, and response technologies into a single operating architecture. The company stated that the platform aims to help government agencies integrate existing and future sensors, artificial intelligence capabilities, and response technologies across defense, public safety, homeland security, critical infrastructure, and border security applications, with an initial focus on counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS).
In conjunction with the platform launch, Wrap Technologies announced a strategic investment in Israel-based Frenel Imaging Ltd. and secured an exclusive U.S. and NATO license for Frenel’s proprietary TPiCore® thermal-polarimetric imaging technology. This technology will serve as the initial sensing layer for WrapShield. The company indicated that Frenel is expected to be the first of multiple planned investments supporting the platform, which is designed to expand across various autonomous security and surveillance markets.
The WrapShield platform represents a significant step in integrating disparate technologies into a cohesive system. By connecting sensors, AI decision support, and response tools, Wrap aims to provide a comprehensive solution for addressing modern security challenges. The initial focus on C-UAS reflects the growing need for effective countermeasures against drone threats, which have become increasingly prevalent in both military and civilian contexts.
Wrap Technologies, known for its non-lethal BolaWrap® 150 device, is expanding its portfolio to include advanced defense and security solutions. The company’s complete public safety portfolio already includes the Wrap Reality® immersive training platform, WrapVision™ body-worn camera system, and WrapTactics™ training programs. The addition of WrapShield and the Frenel imaging technology positions Wrap to compete in the defense and critical infrastructure markets.

The BolaWrap® 150, used by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries, is a non-lethal restraint device that deploys a multi-sensory distraction followed by a non-lethal restraint. It is designed to expand the pre-escalation period, giving officers time to manage non-compliant subjects before resorting to higher-force options. The device is backed by training certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST).
Wrap’s other offerings include WrapReality™ VR, an immersive training simulator for first responders, and WrapVision, a body-worn camera and evidence management system designed for efficiency and security. The WrapVision camera, powered by IONODES, features streamlined cloud integration and a made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026.
