Stock market today: Nasdaq closes above 23,000 for first time as tech rebounds
Investing.com -- ParaZero Technologies Ltd (NASDAQ:PRZO) stock surged 7% following a successful live demonstration of its DefendAir Personal Net Gun System for Israeli defense officials, which achieved complete interception of fast-incoming drone threats during field testing.
The demonstration, held in Kfar Saba, Israel, was attended by 25 senior officers and experts from various tactical units and critical infrastructure defense entities. The company’s DefendAir system successfully neutralized every drone threat presented during real-time scenarios, showcasing its effectiveness against passive, non-transmitting drones that cannot be intercepted through traditional RF-based methods.
"DefendAir offers a unique and reliable solution for last layer drone defense, especially in scenarios where RF jamming or hard kill interception is ineffective, hazardous, or prohibited," said Yuval Gilad, Chief Product Officer at ParaZero.
The DefendAir system is designed as a compact, non-lethal counter-drone solution that uses a targeted net-launching mechanism to disable unauthorized drones. It’s specifically intended for VIP protection, event security, and sensitive infrastructure scenarios where proximity to facilities like airports may restrict other interception methods.
The demonstration addressed challenges posed by drone incursions, including fiber-optic-guided drones, and participants discussed limitations of existing solutions and the need for multi-layered defense strategies. While specific participant affiliations remain confidential, the strong market response indicates investor confidence in the company’s counter-drone technology.
