ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: PRZO) (the “company” or “ParaZero”), an aerospace defense company pioneering smart, autonomous solutions for the global manned and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) industry, announced a strategic partnership with XTEND (JFB Construction Holdings - Nasdaq: JFB), an innovative Israeli company specializing in AI-based autonomous tactical drones.
Under the collaboration, ParaZero’s advanced DefendAir net-launching system is integrated onto XTEND’s Scorpio 1000 drone platform – an agile, battle-proven drone with high payload capacity and superior maneuverability at high speeds in complex environments.
This integration enables fully autonomous interception of hostile drones, including detection, tracking, and high-speed pursuit, using a kinetic net capture to minimize collateral damage and allow safe operations.
The partnership between these two Israeli companies aims to position them to be at the forefront of global drone interception technology (Counter-UAS), delivering unique battlefield capabilities that were previously unavailable - combining XTEND’s agile drone platform with ParaZero’s reliable and safe capture solution.
“We are proud to partner with XTEND, a leader whose drones are proven in real-world operations,” said Ariel Alon, ParaZero CEO. “We believe that this combination strengthens our position as providers of advanced defense solutions and offers military users more effective and safer interception capabilities against drone threats.”
As warfare becomes increasingly complex and multi-domain, the need for agile, scalable solutions that leverage AI-driven autonomy will only grow,” said Aviv Shapira, CEO of XTEND. “This partnership with ParaZero accelerates our vision of a future where autonomous systems collaborate seamlessly across air, ground, and maritime domains, offering unprecedented speed, precision, and adaptability in real-time operations. Together, we are shaping the future of defense, where human-machine teaming delivers superior outcomes in the face of ever-evolving threats.”
The companies expect to continue to develop and demonstrate their joint CUAS solution, with the goal of offering it to defense forces and homeland security organizations worldwide.
