This capability is designed to secure high-value sites such as critical infrastructure, government buildings and other valuable assets against complex drone attacks.

According to a recent market research, the global anti drone market size was valued at $2.4B in 2024. The market is projected to grow from $3.1B in 2025 to $12.24B by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 21.62% during the forecast period.

With this expansion of the DefendAir product line alongside the DefendAir in its portable net gun configuration, ParaZero expands its defense offering and portfolio while also strengthening its position in the evolving C-UAS market, offering a versatile and scalable suite of solutions tailored to mobile and stationary defense needs across defense and homeland security sectors.

Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero, said: “This successful trial demonstrates the agility of our engineering teams and our strategic commitment to building an integrated, layered defense ecosystem.
