ParaZero Technologies, a leader in developing smart autonomous safety systems for drones, has announced a significant milestone: its first direct purchase order from a major Israeli defense entity for the company’s DefendAir Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS). This landmark contract underscores the growing demand for sophisticated solutions to address the escalating threat posed by unmanned aircraft on modern battlefields.
The order comes amid heightened awareness of drone risks following lessons learned in recent regional conflicts, where unmanned systems have proven to be a primary and persistent threat to ground forces and critical infrastructure. This procurement initiative by the defense entity aims to directly counter these evolving dangers.
ParaZero’s DefendAir system is a multi-layered, “soft-kill” solution designed to neutralize hostile drones safely and without kinetic force. Its core technology features a patented net-launching mechanism that physically captures threatening drones mid-flight, minimizing the risk of collateral damage from falling debris or explosions. The system has demonstrated a 100% interception success rate in rigorous field trials and is engineered to protect troops, sensitive installations, and urban areas.
“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,” stated Ariel Alon, CEO of 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 comprehensive order includes delivery of multiple DefendAir units, along with full integration support and operational training to ensure the defense entity can achieve rapid readiness. This end-to-end approach is crucial for deploying effective, immediate defense layers against unmanned aerial threats.
This contract represents a strategic validation for ParaZero, transitioning from a focus on drone safety and parachute recovery systems to a key provider of active counter-drone defense for national security applications. It positions the company within the vital supply chain for a defense force renowned for its technological adoption, opening pathways for future orders and international interest in its proven non-kinetic interception technology.
