Wrap Technologies Expands Global Momentum with ATF Ruling and Counter-Drone Tech Acquisition

Wrap Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) is building global momentum as it expands its WrapShield public safety platform, driven by a recent ATF ruling and a strategic acquisition in counter-drone technology. The company reported continued adoption of its Non-Lethal Response system, approximately $1.2 million in international orders, and a reaffirmed target of roughly 100% year-over-year revenue growth in 2026.

ATF Ruling 2026-2, effective July 2, 2026, classified the BolaWrap 150 as a federally recognized instrument of restraint rather than a firearm or “any other weapon.” This regulatory clarity may remove longstanding procurement barriers across law enforcement, corrections, and government markets, helping agencies move from extended evaluation toward department-wide programs. The ruling is a significant milestone for WRAP, as it clarifies the legal status of the device, potentially accelerating adoption.

In a strategic transaction with Israeli AI sensing company Frenel Imaging Ltd., WRAP acquired exclusive U.S. and NATO distribution rights to Division of Focal Plane (DoFP) polarimetric sensing technology. This technology detects drones by their physical light-scattering signatures rather than radio-frequency emissions, enabling detection even after a drone stops transmitting. WRAP describes this as the detection layer of its emerging WrapShield platform, addressing the growing threat of unauthorized drones.

With the first operational Wraptor MX prototype and an early-adopter program, WRAP is positioning a three-component Non-Lethal Response architecture: BolaWrap 150 (handheld restraint), Wraptor MX (multi-shot platform), and the developing DFR-X (drone-deployed restraint), all around a common operating framework. This integrated approach aims to provide law enforcement with a comprehensive set of non-lethal tools for various scenarios.

For agencies adopting these tools, the single measure of success is a tense encounter that ends with everyone going home safely—the person in crisis, the officer responding, and the community watching. WRAP continues to expand the range of situations its platform is built to address, from ground-level incidents to potential airborne threats.

The company’s focus on non-lethal solutions aligns with growing societal demand for de-escalation tools in public safety. By integrating counter-drone technology, WRAP is also addressing emerging security challenges. This expansion positions the company for growth in both traditional law enforcement and new market segments.
