1. Purchase Order from ABBS for 20 MERLIN-1 Systems
Wrap secured a purchase order from Advanced Blast & Ballistic Systems Group for 20 MERLIN-1 Counter-UAS systems targeted at U.K. public safety agencies. The pre-order underpins demonstration, evaluation and market entry activities as Wrap advances its MERLIN-1 platform toward Q2 2026 readiness.
2. MERLIN-1 Platform Features and Applications
The MERLIN-1 system is a modular, non-lethal drone payload designed to entangle hostile drones mid-flight, offering a scalable alternative to missile- or fragmentation-based interceptors. Its active non-lethal intervention aims to reduce collateral risk and operational costs for security and critical infrastructure operators.
3. International Expansion and Product Roadmap
This U.K. pre-order follows recent drone-related commercial engagements in Canada, Panama and India, signaling growing international demand for Wrap’s non-lethal response portfolio. Alongside MERLIN-1, Wrap is progressing DFR-X Drone First Responder Interdiction pre-orders opened in Q4 2025, targeting go-to-market readiness in Q2 2026.
