Israel-based ParaZero has received a new follow-on order from an unnamed defense customer for its DefendAir counter-drone system, as demand rises for non-kinetic air defense tools. The company said the purchase includes personal net launchers, deployable net pods, and a training package combining live exercises and simulation.

ParaZero describes DefendAir as a “soft-kill” solution that intercepts drones with net-launching technology, avoiding explosives and reducing the risk of collateral damage, especially in urban or sensitive areas. The system can be fielded in multiple configurations, including handheld launchers, vehicle-mounted systems, and drone-integrated pods, and is intended to support layered defense for troops, convoys, and infrastructure. The firm claims a 100% interception rate in field trials and says interest has been growing in Europe and Israel.
