ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: PRZO) 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 company said the autonomous, sensor-driven system is intended to neutralize high-speed aerial threats while providing a lightweight, retrofit solution for existing armored platforms without the collateral risks associated with explosive countermeasures.
ParaZero said development of DefendAir is being accelerated through engagements with Tier-1 defense partners as the company 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. The announcement is significant as FPV drones have become a prominent threat in modern conflicts, often used to target armored vehicles and critical infrastructure with precision and at low cost.
The DefendAir platform offers a potential solution to a critical gap in current defense capabilities. Traditional counter-drone systems often rely on explosive interceptors, which can cause collateral damage and are less effective against fast, maneuverable FPV drones. By providing a non-explosive, lightweight retrofit, ParaZero aims to equip existing armored platforms with an additional layer of protection without the logistical burden of integrating heavy or complex systems.
ParaZero Technologies is an aerospace defense company specializing in smart, autonomous solutions for the global manned and unmanned aerial systems industry. Founded in 2014, the company is known for its SafeAir autonomous parachute recovery system, DefendAir counter-UAS platform, and DropAir precision aerial delivery system. The company’s focus on intelligent, mission-ready systems positions it to address evolving security challenges in both battlefield and urban environments.
