After saving numerous unmanned and manned aerial systems by operating an automatic parachute recovery system, Israeli company ParaZero has applied its revolutionary patent-protected technology to developed its Defend Air system. The drone-mounted net interception system provides last-mile defence.
“Our drone technology solutions leverage a distinct technology portfolio protected by global patents that we have developed over the course of more than ten years. We believe that this technology portfolio enables us to effectively counteract various threats posed by drones by rapidly developing bespoke C-UAS solutions for key clientele,” said Boaz Shetzer, ParaZero CEO.
“Recent international conflicts have highlighted the extensive use of drones in various attacks and the critical necessity to counteract these strikes promptly with minimal damage," said Shetzer. "We have commenced development of dedicated solutions, based on our technology, and we believe that ParaZero can provide a unique alternative to today’s conventional solutions.”
The Defend Air system enables high-speed pursuit of targets, providing enhanced flexibility and precision in countering aerial threats. The system’s adaptability allows it to be mounted on a wide range of drone platforms, including FPVs, ensuring optimal performance in various operational scenarios while not replacing soft kill (jamming, spoofing etc) solutions but complementing them with a soft-hard kill non-explosive solution suitable for urban environments.
According to the company, DefendAir turns into a quick and efficient C-UAS solution that can intercept more dangerous threats and conduct high-speed aerial chase. The pod's architecture enables it to adjust the system settings to achieve the best possible outcome for any kind of threat and use scenario, such as quicker deployment at close range and greater distance. Various nets and textiles, each specific to its target kind and characteristics, can be deployed by the pod.
The personal version of the system is lightweight and portable. It is designed to enhance the safety of infantry units at the platoon/squad level. The system includes a personal net launcher that can be carried as part of a combat vest, providing soldiers with an effective and easy-to-use tool for neutralizing hostile drones.
The company also has a fully automated Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) that is designed to protect military vehicles in operational environments. The system is mounted on a dedicated turret integrated with radar, enabling rapid detection and neutralization of hostile drones.
