Critical infrastructure, strategic facilities and other high-value assets are increasingly exposed to threats from low-cost drones capable of conducting surveillance, causing disruption and carrying out direct attacks. Protecting these sites requires Counter-UAS systems that can respond rapidly and  neutralize threats, particularly in sensitive environments where explosive interception methods may create unacceptable collateral damage and risks to personnel, equipment and surrounding infrastructure – sometimes even more then the threat itself.

ParaZero’s DefendAir technology provides a non-explosive, net-based physical interception capability designed to neutralize hostile drones with precision and control. The modular Net Pod architecture enables integration into autonomous defense applications and can be adapted for fixed, mobile and unmanned protection systems.

"Protecting critical infrastructure and high-value assets requires more than detection or disruption alone. Operators need a dependable physical interception layer capable of responding autonomously and stopping a hostile drone before it reaches the protected asset," said Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero Technologies. "This follow-on order supports the integration of DefendAir into an operational system built around that requirement and demonstrates the role our Pod architecture can play in protecting sensitive sites where controlled interception effects are essential.".

The follow-on order advances the use of DefendAir Pods within an autonomous operational application and reflects the growing requirement for physical Counter-UAS interception capabilities that can be incorporated into layered protection systems.
