ParaZero demonstrates DefendAir system in first US live test

ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: PRZO) conducted its first live demonstration in the United States of its DefendAir net launcher system in Tampa, Florida, following the company's participation at SOF Week 2026.

The demonstration was held for defense and security stakeholders, including defense integrators, European special forces and law enforcement representatives, and U.S.-based distributors. During the two-hour event, ParaZero's DefendAir system intercepted multiple fast incoming FPV drone threats, achieving a 100% success rate throughout the demonstration.

DefendAir is described as a non-explosive, net-based counter-drone interception solution designed for defense and security forces. The system uses a patent non-explosive mechanism to deploy a net that neutralizes hostile drones and is intended for use across multiple configurations, including portable, vehicle-mounted, stationary, and autonomous drone-mounted applications.

"This first live demonstration of DefendAir in the United States marks an important milestone for ParaZero," said Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero. "The level of interest we received from defense integrators, distributors, and operational users reflects the growing need for practical counter-drone interception solutions."

The event was designed to provide participants with an introduction to DefendAir's operational capabilities and to support discussions regarding potential future procurement, integration, and deployment of DefendAir platforms and autonomous applications.

ParaZero Technologies is an aerospace defense company founded in 2014 that develops solutions for manned and unmanned aerial systems. The company's product portfolio includes SafeAir parachute recovery systems, DefendAir counter-drone platforms, and DropAir aerial delivery systems.
