ParaZero completes field trial of enhanced drone defense system

KFAR SABA, Israel - ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq:PRZO), a $26.28 million market cap company with a strong liquidity position, has completed a field trial for an enhanced variant of its DefendAir anti-drone system, the company announced in a press release.

The trial, conducted in Israel, tested a new stationary net turret launcher system designed to provide 360-degree perimeter defense against hostile drones. The system integrates an advanced optical detection and tracking system, enabling fully autonomous operation from threat detection to interception.

The enhanced net launcher deploys a larger net compared to previous versions, providing broader area coverage and improved effectiveness against faster and larger drone threats. The system is designed to secure high-value sites such as critical infrastructure and government buildings.

"This successful trial demonstrates the agility of our engineering teams and our strategic commitment to building an integrated, layered defense ecosystem," said Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero.

The expanded DefendAir product line now includes both the new turret variant and the existing portable net gun configuration, broadening the company’s defense portfolio for both mobile and stationary defense needs.

ParaZero, founded in 2014, specializes in autonomous solutions for manned and unmanned aerial systems. The company’s product portfolio includes SafeAir, an autonomous parachute recovery system; DefendAir, a counter-UAS platform; and DropAir, a precision aerial delivery system.

According to market research cited in the company’s statement, the global anti-drone market was valued at $2.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to $12.24 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 21.62%.
