ParaZero Technologies has received a fourth order for its DefendAir Net Pods from a Tier-1 European defense company following successful initial integration work and a live demonstration on the customer’s armored vehicle.
The order follows testing at the customer’s facility in Europe, where the vehicle-mounted DefendAir system sequentially neutralized multiple drone threats. The vehicle configuration, weather conditions, and threat scenarios were selected to reflect realistic operating conditions, providing a practical test of the technology within the customer’s wider protection architecture.
The ongoing program builds on a Memorandum of Understanding signed between the parties in September 2026 to develop vehicle-integrated active protection against attack drones. The fourth order will support continued integration work and planned demonstrations for European end users.
ParaZero expects to complete the integration program by the end of 2026 through an extensive series of trials at the customer’s facility designed to simulate combat conditions. During this period, the company also expects multiple demonstrations for senior military officers from NATO member states.
DefendAir’s modular Net Pod architecture is designed for integration into vehicle-mounted, autonomous, remotely operated, and fixed counter-UAS systems. The technology provides a controlled, non-explosive, net-based physical interception component that defense manufacturers and platform integrators can incorporate into broader protection architectures according to the platform, threat profile, and operational environment.
Ariel Alon, Chief Executive Officer of ParaZero, commented, “We believe the progression from initial integration to a fourth order, combined with a successful demonstration on the customer’s own armored vehicle under realistic multi-threat conditions, demonstrates both the operational relevance of DefendAir and the strength of this collaboration. By year-end, we expect to complete the integration through rigorous testing designed to simulate combat conditions and to present the capability to senior military officers from NATO member states, which we believe will reinforce DefendAir’s position as a practical, non-explosive physical interception layer for next-generation armored platforms.”
