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 mph, simulating a high-speed hostile drone approaching ground forces. The milestone underscores DefendAir’s potential to counter fast-moving threats such as FPV attack drones, with the non-explosive system offered in handheld, stationary and drone-mounted configurations to support layered force protection.
The live test showcased real-time, on-the-move protection capabilities using ParaZero’s patented net-launching technology. According to the company, the system is designed to provide a safe and effective countermeasure against unauthorized drones in both battlefield and urban environments. ParaZero’s DefendAir platform is part of a broader product portfolio that includes SafeAir, an autonomous parachute recovery system for aerial safety and regulatory compliance, and DropAir, a precision aerial delivery system.
ParaZero was founded in 2014 by aviation professionals and drone industry veterans and has established itself as a leader in advanced drone technologies, supporting commercial, industrial, and governmental operations worldwide. The company’s mission is to redefine the boundaries of aerial operations with intelligent, mission-ready systems that enhance safety, scalability, and security.
The successful interception of a drone at 70 mph is significant because it demonstrates the system's ability to engage high-speed threats that are increasingly common in modern conflicts, such as first-person-view (FPV) attack drones. By using a non-explosive net-based approach, DefendAir minimizes collateral damage and is suitable for use in populated areas. The system’s availability in multiple configurations—handheld, stationary, and drone-mounted—provides flexibility for military and security forces to integrate it into existing force protection measures.
