Wrap Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) is extending its Non-Lethal Response platform with new products and technologies designed to give public safety agencies more options for de-escalation and situational awareness. The company announced the July 2026 launch of WrapShield, a remote restraint innovation, and an exclusive U.S. and NATO license to Frenel Imaging’s TPiCore thermal-polarimetric sensing, beginning with counter-drone applications.
These additions come as pressure on agencies to adopt response-to-resistance alternatives has intensified, widening demand for tools that can control situations without injury or pain rather than provoke confrontations. High-profile use-of-force incidents have driven costly litigation, strained community trust, and increased scrutiny of how officers are equipped and trained. That environment has pushed agencies toward tools that create time, distance, and tactical advantage, particularly in encounters involving individuals in mental- or behavioral-health crises and has widened the customer base beyond traditional policing into corrections, campus safety, healthcare, and transportation security.
Wrap has built its business around a Non-Lethal Response platform that converges remote restraint, training, and evidence management, spanning the BolaWrap 150, Wrap Reality, Wrap Vision, Wrap Tactics, and counter-drone solutions. The company describes itself as a global public safety technology provider developing policing solutions for law enforcement and security personnel across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. Its flagship BolaWrap 150 Remote Restraint Device, along with a growing portfolio of training and evidence-management tools, is designed to give officers ways to subdue subjects from a distance without causing pain or injury.
With the addition of WrapShield and the TPiCore license, Wrap is adding an AI-enabled detection layer that can identify threats in complex environments. The thermal-polarimetric sensor is designed to detect objects and people that might be hidden or obscured, providing critical information in counter-UAS operations and other security scenarios. This technology aligns with the broader trend of integrating artificial intelligence into public safety tools to enhance decision-making and reduce response times.
The company’s focus on non-lethal alternatives reflects a shifting landscape in law enforcement procurement. Agencies are increasingly looking for solutions that minimize harm to both officers and the public, and Wrap’s platform addresses that need with a comprehensive ecosystem of hardware, software, and training. The company’s announcements signal a strategic expansion beyond its core remote restraint device into adjacent markets where detection and situational awareness are paramount.
Wrap Technologies is positioning itself at the intersection of two critical trends: the demand for non-lethal force options and the integration of advanced sensing technologies into public safety operations. With the new products and the exclusive license, the company aims to capture a larger share of the growing market for response-to-resistance technology.
