Israel-based ParaZero has secured another order from a defense customer for its DefendAir counter-drone system as demand for non-kinetic air defense tools rises.
ParaZero Technologies said the follow-on purchase includes its DefendAir counter-unmanned aerial system solution, covering personal net launchers, deployable net pods, and a training package combining live exercises and simulation modules.
The unnamed defense entity placed the order after an initial evaluation phase, suggesting the system has moved closer to operational use.
Built as a “soft-kill” solution, DefendAir uses net-launching technology to intercept drones without explosives, reducing the risk of collateral damage in urban or sensitive environments.
The system can be deployed in multiple configurations, from handheld launchers for individual soldiers to vehicle-mounted systems and drone-integrated pods.
ParaZero said the system is designed for layered defense, allowing forces to respond quickly to small drone threats targeting troops, convoys, or infrastructure.
The company claims the system achieved a 100 percent interception rate during field trials.
ParaZero Counter-Drone Solutions
ParaZero’s DefendAir system has seen growing uptake and evaluation across multiple regions over the past two years, particularly in Europe and Israel.
In March, an Israeli defense entity placed a follow-on order for DefendAir systems, building on an earlier procurement in January. The orders included net-launching interceptors and training packages, signaling a move from testing to operational adoption within Israel’s defense ecosystem.
Earlier in November 2025, ParaZero secured a significant purchase order from a Dutch defense distributor to supply DefendAir systems across Western Europe. The agreement aimed to expand availability of the counter-drone technology to military and homeland security customers through an established regional network.
In October the same year, the company also received an order from a global defense contractor, which included both the DefendAir system and operator training.
Meanwhile, ParaZero has been actively targeting NATO markets.
In December 2025, the company conducted a live DefendAir demonstration attended by military officials from several Western European NATO countries, showcasing interception of hostile drones in operational scenarios and paving the way for potential procurement decisions.
