ParaZero Technologies has secured its inaugural DefendAir contract from a “main Israeli defense entity.”
DefendAir is a counter-unmanned aerial system technology that uses a net to capture and disable enemy drones with low collateral damage.
The package includes multiple sets of the weapon as well as integration and training services for rapid deployment.
The Kefar Sava-based company noted that the customer is currently boosting capabilities to match the growing drone threat, which it identified as a major risk to ground forces and related operations in fresh conflicts.
“We are honored to receive this first order from a leading Israeli defense entity, a testament to the reliability and effectiveness of our DefendAir systems in real-world defense scenarios,” said Ariel Alon, CEO at ParaZero.
“This procurement underscores the urgent need for advanced, scalable counter-drone capabilities. We are proud to contribute to enhancing the protection of Israeli forces and look forward to supporting broader deployment of our technology.”
The award comes after ParaZero received a similar order from a global defense company in October 2025 and from a “prestigious defense organization” in August of the same year.
In December 2025, the firm demonstrated the DefendAir technology for NATO and Germany in separate instances.
About DefendAir
ParaZero’s DefendAir system can be launched via an interception drone, a stationary turret, or a hand-held gun.
It has an effective range of 2 to 100 meters (7 to 328 feet), depending on configuration, and has a net size ranging from 9 to 100 square meters (97 to 1,076 square feet).
Users can equip the weapon with additional radar, command and control relay, and radio frequency systems to meet existing requirements and improve effectiveness.
