ParaZero Technologies, an Israeli aerospace defense company pioneering smart, autonomous solutions for the global manned and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) industry, announced that it has received its first order for DefendAir from a U.S. government security entity, representing the company’s first DefendAir sale to a U.S. federal customer. The order includes DefendAir net launchers, net pods, and a dedicated on-site training program to be delivered by ParaZero personnel.
According to ParaZero, the order represents the adoption of DefendAir by a U.S. government customer and reflects a broader shift taking place internationally, as government, defense and security organizations increasingly recognize that the proliferation of small drones requires practical defensive capabilities that can be deployed close to the people, assets and missions they are responsible for protecting.
As part of the order, ParaZero’s team will provide on-site practical training directly to the customer’s operators, supporting system familiarization, correct deployment and the development of operator proficiency through hands-on use. This approach reflects ParaZero’s broader philosophy toward Counter-UAS: providing customers not simply with interception hardware, but with the technology, training and operational support required to transform that hardware into a usable defensive capability.
Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero Technologies, said that this first order from a U.S. government entity is particularly important for ParaZero because it reflects something much larger that the company is seeing internationally. Governments and security organizations increasingly understand that the drone threat is no longer theoretical, and they are moving toward practical solutions to protect people, sensitive locations and critical missions.
“Our approach extends beyond supplying launchers and Net Pods. DefendAir is designed to provide customers with an operational capability supported by training and hands-on preparation,” said Alon. “We believe this approach is increasingly important as Counter-UAS solutions move from evaluation to real-world deployment.”
ParaZero Technologies will attend UVID DroneTech 2026, the largest and most prestigious international UAS/drone event, that returning to Israel for the 14th time in November 2026. For information and registration
