ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: PRZO), an aerospace defense company specializing in smart autonomous solutions for manned and unmanned aerial systems, has announced successful internal live testing of its DefendAir system, including what the company describes as the first net-based interception of a drone traveling at 70 mph. The test simulated a high-speed hostile drone approaching ground forces, demonstrating real-time, on-the-move protection capabilities using ParaZero’s patented net-launching technology.
The milestone underscores DefendAir’s potential to counter fast-moving threats such as FPV attack drones. According to the company, the non-explosive system is offered in handheld, stationary and drone-mounted configurations, supporting layered force protection. The successful intercept at 70 mph marks a significant advancement in counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) technology, as hostile drones increasingly pose risks to military personnel and critical infrastructure.
ParaZero’s DefendAir system is designed to provide a safe and effective means of neutralizing unauthorized drones without causing collateral damage. The net-based capture method avoids the use of explosives or projectiles, making it suitable for use in populated areas and sensitive environments. The ability to intercept high-speed drones on the move further enhances its tactical value for ground forces operating in dynamic scenarios.
This development comes as the demand for C-UAS solutions grows globally, driven by the proliferation of drones in both battlefield and civilian settings. ParaZero’s technology offers a layered defense approach, with configurations that can be deployed from the ground or from other drones, providing flexibility for various operational requirements.
ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: PRZO) 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 for aerial safety and regulatory compliance; DefendAir, a counter-UAS net-launching platform for protection against hostile drones; and DropAir, a precision aerial delivery system.
