Following successful completion of evaluation stage, new order for DefendAir Net Pods and integration support advances the system toward operational deployment and broader adoption.
KFAR SABA, Israel, Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: PRZO) (the “Company” or “ParaZero”), an aerospace defense company pioneering smart, autonomous solutions for the global manned and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) industry, today announced that it has received a third order from a Tier-1 Israeli-based global defense company for its DefendAir Net Pods and a dedicated integration support package.
The new order follows the successful completion of the customer’s evaluation stage and marks the next phase in the deployment process, as the program advances from evaluation and validation toward system integration and operational implementation.
Following successful completion of evaluation stage, this new order for DefendAir Net Pods and integration support advances the system toward operational deployment and broader adoption.
The order includes additional DefendAir Net Pods together with dedicated ParaZero engineering support to continue the integration of the technology into the customer’s Counter-UAS system. The expanded engagement is intended to support the technical work required to advance the integrated solution toward operational deployment.
For ParaZero, the progression from evaluation to repeated procurement and continued engineering integration demonstrates the advancement of DefendAir through the defense technology adoption cycle. The Company believes the third order reflects a growing level of commitment to the technology as the customer moves beyond evaluation and toward establishing an operational capability.
DefendAir provides a controlled, non-explosive, net-based physical interception layer designed to neutralize hostile drones. Its modular Net Pod architecture enables integration into autonomous, mobile, fixed and unmanned defense platforms and can be adapted to different target profiles, system architectures and operational requirements.
“Moving from evaluation to integration and operational deployment is where a technology begins to become an actual defense capability,” said Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero Technologies. “This third order represents continued progress in that process and reflects the customer’s advancement with DefendAir beyond the evaluation stage. Our focus now is supporting the integration process and helping move the system toward operational deployment at scale.”
The integration support package enables ParaZero’s engineering team to work directly with the customer throughout the next phase of system development, supporting integration of the Net Pods into the broader Counter-UAS architecture and adapting the interception capability to the platform’s specific technical and operational requirements.
ParaZero believes this model of progressing from evaluation, through technical integration, to operational deployment represents an important pathway for expanding DefendAir adoption among major defense manufacturers and system integrators.
As Counter-UAS systems increasingly evolve toward complete engagement architectures capable of detecting, tracking and ultimately neutralizing hostile drones, DefendAir is designed to provide the physical interception layer required to complete that engagement. The Company’s strategy is to establish DefendAir as a modular interception capability that can be integrated across multiple platforms, programs and operational environments.
