Live DefendAir’s demonstration in Tampa, Florida showcased ability to intercept fast incoming FPV drones, achieving a 100% success rate at multiple scenarios
Kfar Saba, Israel, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: PRZO) (“ParaZero” or the “Company”), an aerospace defense company pioneering smart, autonomous solutions for the global manned and unmanned aerial systems industry, today announced that it conducted its first live demonstration in the United States of the Company’s DefendAir net launcher system, following its participation at SOF Week 2026 in Tampa, Florida.
The demonstration was held for a select group of hand-picked defense and security stakeholders, including Tier-1 international and U.S.-based defense integrators, European special forces and law enforcement representatives, and U.S.-based distributors.
During the two-hour demonstration, ParaZero’s DefendAir system successfully intercepted multiple fast incoming FPV drone threats, achieving a 100% success rate throughout the demonstration. The event was designed to provide participants with a direct introduction to DefendAir’s operational capabilities and to support discussions regarding potential future procurement, integration, and deployment of DefendAir portable platforms and advanced autonomous applications.
DefendAir is ParaZero’s non-explosive, net-based counter-UAS interception solution, designed to provide defense, and security forces with a practical physical interception layer against hostile drones. The system utilizes a patent non-explosive mechanism to deploy a net that neutralize hostile drones and is intended for use across multiple configurations, including portable, vehicle-mounted, stationary, and autonomous drone-mounted applications.
“This first live demonstration of DefendAir in the United States marks an important milestone for ParaZero,” said Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero. “The level of interest we received from defense integrators, distributors, and operational users reflects the growing need for practical counter-drone interception solutions. This was our first U.S. live demonstration, and we view it as an important step in introducing DefendAir to key stakeholders in the U.S. and international defense markets.”
