In an internal live trial on February 18, ParaZero’s DefendAir system intercepted a 70 mph hostile drone using its patented net-launching technology, marking the company’s first successful net-based interception at that speed. The scenario simulated a fast-closing FPV attack drone targeting ground forces to validate real-time, on-the-move threat neutralization.

DefendAir employs a non-explosive, low-collateral net-based approach and is offered in handheld, stationary point-protection and drone-mounted configurations. This layered defense architecture enables rapid deployment for troops, convoys and high-value assets against lethal unmanned aerial systems.

This milestone reinforces ParaZero’s position in the growing counter-UAS market and could accelerate procurement discussions with defense customers seeking reliable, mobile drone defense. Demonstrated performance at 70 mph is expected to boost credibility and support contract negotiations across military and security sectors.
