ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: PRZO) has completed a field trial for an enhanced variant of the company’s DefendAir system, marking a significant expansion of the company’s multi-layered drone defense capabilities.
The trial, conducted in Israel, tested a new stationary net turret launcher system to provide 360 perimeter defense against hostile drones. The DefendAir system’s turret variant is integrated with an advanced optical detection and tracking system. This integration enables a fully autonomous operation—from threat detection and tracking to successful interception—representing a notable leap in the system’s overall autonomy and performance.
The enhanced net launcher layout allows the deployment of a significantly larger net, providing broader area coverage and improved effectiveness against faster and larger drone threats. This capability is designed to secure high-value sites such as critical infrastructure, government buildings and other valuable assets against complex drone attacks.
According to a recent market research, the global anti drone market size was valued at $2.4B in 2024. The market is projected to grow from $3.1B in 2025 to $12.24B by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 21.62% during the forecast period.
With this expansion of the DefendAir product line alongside the DefendAir in its portable net gun configuration, ParaZero expands its defense offering and portfolio while also strengthening its position in the evolving C-UAS market, offering a versatile and scalable suite of solutions tailored to mobile and stationary defense needs across defense and homeland security sectors.
Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero, said, “This successful trial demonstrates the agility of our engineering teams and our strategic commitment to building an integrated, layered defense ecosystem. As threats evolve, so must the tools designed to stop them—and this milestone represents a meaningful expansion of ParaZero’s ability to protect high-value assets against emerging aerial threats.”
