ParaZero Technologies, an Israeli aerospace firm known for its autonomous counter-unmanned aerial systems has announced two substantial deals in the span of a week.
The first deal saw the signing of a new reseller agreement with a prominent Western European partner, including an initial purchase order for DefendAir training kits that allow operators to conduct comprehensive training, system familiarization, and tactical deployment simulations that accelerate adoption and operational capabilities.
The new reseller will promote and support ParaZero’s DefendAir product line – a rapidly deployable, net-based C-UAS system designed to neutralize hostile drones in battlefield, critical infrastructure, and urban environments.
“The momentum we are seeing across Europe underscores the increasing demand for reliable, mission-proven counter-drone technologies amid evolving security challenges,” said Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero.
“This new reseller agreement and the initial order for DefendAir training kits that preceded it from a key NATO country reflect our commitment to strengthening partnerships that enhance airspace security for allied forces and critical assets. We continue to expand our presence in NATO markets, delivering innovative solutions that support operational readiness and national defense priorities,” he said.
The company also announced that it had received a second substantial order from a major international defense corporation for its advanced interception net-pods.
According to a press release by the company, the order is for operational net-pods “designed to address a wide range of aerial drone threats, providing reliable, kinetic interception capabilities that minimize collateral damage in complex environments.”
Alon added, “We are delighted to announce this second substantial order, that further validates the trust our partner places in ParaZero’s innovative anti-drone solutions.”
He explained that “As aerial drone threats continue to evolve in sophistication and scale, our operational net-pods provide essential protection for military and homeland security forces worldwide. This repeat business highlights the reliability, modularity, and real-world impact of our DefendAir technology and reinforces our position as a leader in the global counter-UAS market.”
Effective neutralization of hostile drones
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Kfar Saba, ParaZero built its reputation on SafeAir, an autonomous parachute‑based safety system designed to prevent catastrophic drone crashes.
ParaZero’s DefendAir system incorporates patented net-launching technology. The net-pods are engineered by the company for its integration across various platforms to deliver precise and effective neutralization of hostile drones.
The technology, which integrates sensors, real‑time monitoring, and automated deployment mechanisms, became a regulatory enabler for commercial drone operators seeking approval for flights over people and other high‑risk operations. Over the past decade, SafeAir has been adopted by manufacturers, enterprise operators, and aviation authorities across multiple continents, helping shape global norms for unmanned aerial safety.
The proliferation of small, inexpensive drones, once viewed primarily as commercial platforms, has created new challenges for militaries and critical infrastructure operators. ParaZero responded by expanding into defense, developing non‑explosive interception systems designed to neutralize hostile drones with precision and minimal collateral damage.
These systems rely on autonomous guidance and net‑based interception rather than kinetic or explosive methods, making them suitable for urban environments, airports, and sensitive facilities where traditional counter‑drone solutions pose unacceptable risks.
According to a 2025 report by the Washington-based Center for a New American Security, Israel’s exports of drone-related products are worth some $500 million each year.
