ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: PRZO) has provided an update on its DefendAir platform, an active, non-explosive protection system designed to defend vehicles and other high-value assets against first-person-view (FPV) attack drones. The autonomous, sensor-driven system is intended to neutralize high-speed aerial threats while offering a lightweight, retrofit solution for existing armored platforms, avoiding the collateral risks associated with explosive countermeasures.
The company said development of DefendAir is being accelerated through engagements with Tier-1 defense partners as it works to advance the platform toward field-ready deployment. Management believes the technology addresses the growing need for active protection systems as defense organizations seek more effective ways to counter the increasing use of low-cost, high-lethality FPV drones.

ParaZero Technologies, founded in 2014 by aviation professionals and drone industry veterans, is a recognized leader in advanced drone technologies, supporting commercial, industrial, and governmental operations worldwide. The company’s product portfolio includes SafeAir, an autonomous parachute recovery system; DefendAir, a counter-UAS net-launching platform; and DropAir, a precision aerial delivery system. ParaZero’s mission is to redefine the boundaries of aerial operations with intelligent, mission-ready systems that enhance safety, scalability, and security.
The DefendAir platform represents a significant advancement in counter-drone technology, as FPV drones have become a prevalent threat on modern battlefields and in urban environments. Unlike traditional explosive countermeasures, DefendAir uses a non-explosive net to capture or disable hostile drones, reducing the risk of collateral damage. This approach aligns with the defense industry's shift toward more precise and safer active protection systems.
ParaZero’s announcement comes at a time when defense organizations worldwide are prioritizing the development and deployment of counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS). The increasing use of inexpensive, commercially available drones for surveillance and attacks has created an urgent need for effective, scalable defenses. By focusing on a retrofit solution that can be integrated into existing armored platforms, ParaZero aims to provide a cost-effective and rapidly deployable option for military and security forces.
