When a hostile drone reaches the final meters of its approach, the time available to react becomes extremely limited. That is where DefendAir Manual is designed to operate.
In this video, the ParaZero Technologies DefendAir handheld Net Launcher demonstrates multiple drone interceptions within just 30 seconds, highlighting the importance of a Counter-UAS capability that can be carried, deployed and operated directly by the individual defender.
Unlike systems that depend on electronic disruption or explosive effects, DefendAir Manual provides a controlled, non-explosive physical interception layer.
The system launches a net toward the incoming drone, creating a direct means of stopping the threat when other defensive layers are unavailable, unsuitable or have already been penetrated.
The handheld configuration is designed for operational environments where mobility, reaction time and simplicity matter, including:
- Frontline and maneuvering forces
- Dismounted soldiers
- Vehicle and convoy protection
- VIP and security teams
- Critical infrastructure
- Urban and sensitive environments
- Temporary positions and forward operating locations
Modern Counter-UAS protection requires multiple defensive layers. Detection, electronic warfare and longer-range interceptors all play an important role, but the defender must also be prepared for the drone that continues through those layers.
DefendAir Manual brings that final physical interception capability directly into the hands of the operator, providing an additional response option for the moments when distance has disappeared and seconds matter.
Watch DefendAir Manual perform multiple rapid interceptions in 30 seconds.
