ParaZero Technologies and Axon Vision’s new integrated Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) capability will couple ParaZero’s DefendAir Net Pod with Axon Vision’s ForceField Edge AI-powered defense system.
The combined architecture is designed to protect airports, energy facilities, homeland security assets, and other sensitive sites where traditional kinetic responses—such as explosive effects, fragmentation, or rounds downrange—are operationally undesirable. While the initial ForceField configuration relied on a kinetic response to protect maneuvering forces, integrating DefendAir introduces a controlled, non-explosive, net-based physical interception option tailored for fixed locations.
Built around ForceField’s core “Detect, Understand, Respond” operational cycle, the modular system maintains a unified decision-making architecture. ForceField supplies passive electro-optical detection, AI-driven threat analysis, engagement management, and Man-on-the-Loop control, while DefendAir operates as the autonomous physical capture component.
“Modern Counter-UAS defense requires detection, decision-making and interception capabilities to operate as one integrated architecture,” said Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero Technologies, an aerospace defense firm specializing in smart, autonomous solutions for manned and unmanned aerial systems. “The integration with ForceField advances our strategy of establishing DefendAir as the standard for net-based physical interception, while expanding the pathways for leading defense companies and system integrators to deploy our technology across critical and sensitive environments.”
The two companies recently validated the interoperability of the integrated system under operationally representative conditions during a trial campaign in Israel. Following the successful demonstration, ParaZero and Axon Vision signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding establishing a framework for continued integration, development, and potential commercialization, subject to final definitive documentation.
“ForceField was designed from day one as an open and modular operational architecture, rather than a single product configuration. Different operational environments require different engagement capabilities,” said Neri Zin, CEO of Axon Vision. “Our collaboration with ParaZero demonstrates how the same ForceField architecture can support complementary interception options while maintaining the same Edge AI core and operational workflow. This approach allows us to address a broader range of operational requirements while continuing to build the ForceField family around a common technology foundation.”
By incorporating the Net Pod, the integration demonstrates how ParaZero’s physical interception hardware can be seamlessly integrated into broader C-UAS architectures developed by defense manufacturers, system integrators, and autonomous platform companies.
