The trial, carried out in Israel, demonstrated the effectiveness of a stationary net turret launcher designed for 360-degree protection of fixed sites. This new variant of the DefendAir system is paired with a sophisticated optical sensor suite, enabling it to autonomously detect, track, and neutralize hostile drones without human intervention. This represents a significant step forward in the system’s independence and operational efficiency.
A key improvement in this configuration is the deployment of a substantially larger net upon interception. This design enhancement provides wider area coverage and increases the system’s effectiveness against more challenging threats, including faster and larger drones. The solution is engineered to safeguard high-value, sensitive locations such as power plants, government facilities, and military bases from sophisticated drone incursions.
This expansion of the DefendAir product line, which also includes a portable net gun for on-the-move units, allows ParaZero to offer a versatile and scalable suite of counter-drone solutions. By catering to both mobile and stationary defense needs, the company solidifies its position in the rapidly growing global Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) market, which is projected to exhibit significant growth in the coming years.
“The success of this trial underscores our team’s technical agility and our strategic vision to create a comprehensive, layered defense ecosystem,” said Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero. “In an era of evolving aerial threats, our solutions must adapt and advance. This milestone marks a crucial enhancement of ParaZero’s capacity to defend critical assets against emerging dangers from the sky.”
