Israeli counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) company ParaZero Technologies has received an initial order from a Tier-1 European defence manufacturer for its DefendAir Net Pods, the company has announced.
The Net Pods will be integrated into an autonomous C-UAS system as part of the customer’s wider system architecture. The order is ParaZero’s first disclosed DefendAir order from a European prime, following earlier orders from a Tier-1 Israeli defence company.
DefendAir uses a controlled, non-explosive net launcher to physically intercept drones and is designed for integration with autonomous ground systems, remotely operated platforms, armoured vehicles, fixed installations and other C-UAS applications, according to ParaZero.
The order follows a series of DefendAir procurement announcements in 2026, including a follow-on order in July for an autonomous C-UAS system intended to protect critical infrastructure and other high-value assets.
