ParaZero Technologies Ltd, an aerospace defense company pioneering smart, autonomous solutions for the global manned and UAS industry, has successfully completed a field trial of its DefendAir Handheld Net Gun System.
The Counter-UAS (C-UAS) system, ordered by the main branch of Israel’s defense sector, demonstrated ParaZero’s operational effectiveness in protecting critical infrastructure and other sensitive facilities against hostile drone threats.
During the demonstration, DefendAir achieved a 100% interception success, neutralizing every real-time operational scenario. The system proved its accuracy and effectiveness in layered defense, offering a unique last-line solution for critical infrastructure and other sensitive facilities.
The live field trial of the DefendAir Handheld Net Launcher showcased its ability to rapidly neutralize fast-approaching multirotor drones, simulating a real-time threat scenario as detailed by the branch that ordered the demo. The demonstration generated strong interest and highly positive feedback from attendees.
The session included an in-depth discussion on the evolving threat of drone incursions, the limitations of existing solutions, and the growing need for multi-layered defense strategies, particularly against passive, non-transmitting drones that cannot be intercepted via traditional radio frequency-based methods, such as fiber-optic-guided drones.
Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero, stated, “We are proud to have successfully completed yet another field trial as demanded by one of the major Israeli defense entities. The results reinforce our belief that DefendAir is a reliable, scalable and truthful solution for both military and civilian applications. As the global drone threat landscape continues to evolve, we believe that DefendAir provides defense forces and governments with a comprehensive layer of protection for sensitive areas.”
This follows a prior demonstration that ParaZero completed in July 2025 with a select group of Israeli security and defense professionals where the DefendAir also achieved 100% interception success, effectively neutralizing every fast-incoming multirotor drone threat in real-time scenarios.
